Lamons Announces Acquisition and Continues to Expand Global Footprint and Product Portfolio in Brazil
Lamons, a TriMas Corporation (NASDAQ: TRS) business, continues to expand
its global footprint and product portfolio in the rapidly growing energy
market of Brazil. Lamons acquired Gasket Vedações Técnicas Ltda on
January 14, 2013. Located in Rio de Janeiro, Gasket Vedações Técnicas
Ltda is a recognized manufacturer and supplier of American Petroleum
Institute (API) 6A approved ring-type joints for the onshore and
offshore drilling markets, as well as distributor of additional gasket
types for the refining and petrochemical markets.
“We are excited to expand our market presence in Brazil. In July 2012,
we acquired Brazilian-based CIFAL, a manufacturer and supplier of
specialty fasteners and bolts,” said Kurt Allen, president of Lamons.
“This new acquisition allows us to broaden our product offering in the
country to include gaskets, and offers additional opportunities for
continued growth and the ability to be in close proximity to our
customers.”
Over the past several years, Lamons has opened sales and service
branches around the world to better serve its global customers. Lamons
further expanded its global footprint and product portfolio with the
acquisition of CIFAL, and in 2010, with the acquisition of South Texas
Bolt & Fitting.
Lamons designs, manufactures and distributes industrial sealing products
and fasteners for the petroleum refining, petrochemical, oil field and
other industrial markets. These highly-engineered products are designed,
manufactured and stocked in close proximity to their refining and
petrochemical customers to ensure quick delivery and exceptional service.
