PRAB Acquires Puckmaster Briquetters
August 1, 2015
PRAB, Inc., a global manufacturer of industrial material handling equipment with more than 65 years of engineering equipment and systems design, has completed a purchase agreement for ownership of all assets of the Puckmaster company. Since 1986, Puckmaster has manufactured and supported briquetting machines for metal compression and coolant collection.
"We are proud to have the PRAB name associated with the Puckmaster brand," said PRAB President and CEO Ned Thompson. "Metal prices are expected to remain fluid for the foreseeable future and the environmental and regulatory risk of transporting metal chips blended with spent coolant is notably more stringent and fines more costly. Therefore, we will continue to recommend metal briquetting as a risk mitigation and cost savings option to our customers. Puckmaster has earned a solid reputation for durable, long-lasting equipment, making the purchase a good fit with our company."
The previous Puckmaster owner, Charles Arnold, will work exclusively with PRAB as a factory authorized, full-line equipment representative. Arnold's company, American Material Handling Systems, will sell new Dualpak units and support existing Puckmaster customers in a select geographic region west of the Mississippi.
