PRECISION SURFACING SOLUTIONS (PSS) (formerly Lapmaster Wolters Group), a supplier of equipment and services for precision lapping, polishing, grinding and honing, has acquired REFORM Grinding Technology GmbH, a provider of machine tools and systems for high-precision grinding applications.
"The acquisition of the REFORM brand significantly increases our precision grinding system portfolio and will provide the ability to offer complementary grinding technologies to our existing global customer base," said Brian Nelson, President and CEO of PSS. "This acquisition will expand our global team to over 900 employees and will further strengthen our ability to offer technology to a wider range of applications, particularly in combination with our existing ELB, MICRON and aba profile grinding brands."
Kelly Cavitt, Chief Operating Officer of PSS, added, "The addition of REFORM in Fulda widens our base of operations in Germany and offers significant operational and cost synergies when combined with our existing operations in Rendsburg, Aschaffenburg and Babenhausen. I look forward to having the REFORM team join our group and know that the leadership of Matthias Mantel and Michael Jahnke (managing directors) will guide a successful path for the REFORM product line."
PSS Group Chief Technical Officer, Brett Rosenthal, further commented, "This combination of technologies and technical resources will enable us to drive market leading grinding solutions for our customers, particularly those in the aerospace industry."
