EAGAN: Tavoron, a national provider of industrial automation, robotics, compressed air and motion control solutions, has acquired Fluidraulics Inc., a Pennsylvania- and Ohio-based automation component and systems distributor that has operated since 1967, the companies announced.
The deal expands Tavoron’s motion control offerings and gives the company a stronger foothold in the Pittsburgh and Cleveland markets, according to the announcement.
Fluidraulics specializes in pneumatic automation, supplying air cylinders, actuators, grippers, valves, fittings, sensors and filter-regulator-lubricator units to medical and industrial customers, along with application and implementation support. The company has served the Pittsburgh and Cleveland areas for more than 55 years.
Tavoron said the acquisition supports its strategy of offering integrated automation solutions that combine electrical and fluid power technologies. By adding Fluidraulics’ product line, vendor relationships and technical staff, Tavoron said it will be better positioned to serve original equipment manufacturers, manufacturers and industrial facilities across the broader region.
“Fluidraulics brings more than five decades of fluid power expertise, longstanding vendor relationships and a strong reputation for service — qualities that align directly with Tavoron’s mission to advance industrial operations across North America,” Tavoron CEO Nicholas Martino said in a statement. “This acquisition expands our automation components and systems portfolio and strengthens our presence in the Pennsylvania and Ohio markets, allowing us to bring even more comprehensive solutions to our customers.”
Fluidraulics CEO Paul Hodge said the acquisition would give his company’s customers access to a broader set of technologies, services and engineering resources.
“Our team remains committed to delivering the same responsive, knowledgeable support we’ve provided since 1967, now backed by an even broader platform,” Hodge said.
Fluidraulics will continue operating in the Pittsburgh and Cleveland areas, retaining its current team and vendor relationships as it integrates into Tavoron’s broader automation distribution business, the companies said.
Tavoron, headquartered in Eagan, Minnesota, is a portfolio company of Fusion Capital Partners and includes 14 companies with roughly 450 employees across the United States and Canada.
Fusion Capital Partners is a Los Angeles-based private equity firm that focuses on control-oriented investments in the industrials sector, pursuing both organic growth and acquisitions among its partner companies.
