The Partner Companies acquires Precision Eforming, adding sieve and mesh products to its portfolio
The Partner Companies (TPC), headquartered in Chicago, Illinois, USA, has acquired Precision Eforming, based in Cortland, New York, USA. The acquisition is expected to enhance TPC’s capabilities in micro-component manufacturing, while expanding access to high-growth end markets, including aerospace, medical, defence, electronics and energy.
Precision Eforming specialises in sieve and mesh components used in applications that require precise control, repeatability, and versatility. Its products are employed in processes that separate and filter light, sound, air, or powdered materials.
“With a legacy spanning more than a century, Precision Eforming brings unmatched expertise in 2D electroforming and long-standing customer relationships across more than sixty industries,” stated Christian Streu, Chief Financial Officer of The Partner Companies. “This addition is an ideal fit with TPC’s long-term growth strategy to expand our complementary manufacturing capabilities to best serve our customers’ needs, while also shaping the future of manufacturing.”
The acquisition marks TPC’s eleventh since its founding in 1997, demonstrating the company’s steady expansion strategy in speciality manufacturing. TPC operates facilities across the United States, China, Mexico and Wales, UK.
Precision Eforming’s core capabilities centre on electroforming, an Additive Manufacturing process that builds high-precision metal parts via electrodeposition. The company’s proprietary techniques enable the development of ultra-fine mesh products with precise features, tight tolerances and high reproducibility, setting the standard in critical applications from medical imaging and space exploration to superabrasives and fuel filtration. The company pioneered this now well-established process for manufacturing precision electroformed mesh.
“Joining forces with TPC marks an exciting new chapter for Precision Eforming to accelerate innovation, expand into new markets and continue delivering the precision and reliability our customers expect,” said Griffin. “With TPC, Precision Eforming will have the resources it needs to continue to grow and evolve.”
