With operations in Massachusetts, Quebec, and Minnesota, AmHolt’s workforce will be integrated into ProMach’s Primary Packaging division.
Led by group president Doug Stambaugh, this business unit consists of 14 brands that supply filling, capping, labelling, and product handling systems to consumer goods manufacturers worldwide.
ProMach president and CEO Mark Anderson commented: “The AmHolt companies are well recognised for their quality design and manufacture, as well as for their ability to partner with consumer-packaged goods companies to improve efficiency and uptime, and we are proud to welcome their world-class products into our portfolio.
“This acquisition reinforces our commitment to providing a best-in-class, comprehensive experience for our customers. The synergies with other ProMach companies are exciting for both our company and our customers.”
Amholt’s former CEO Cliff Gilbert will take on the position of senior vice president within ProMach’s Primary Packaging unit.
Gilbert said: “Joining ProMach is an exciting opportunity that will allow us to continue and expand our vision to be a world-class solution provider.”
