The deals expand ProMach\u2019s capabilities in the consumer packaged goods sector.<\/p>\n

American Holt and DMA Solution focus on the design and production of components used in packaging for industries including beverages, food, protein, and home care products.<\/p>\n

Pride Engineering manufactures specialised components for aluminium can production.<\/p>\n

With operations in Massachusetts, Quebec, and Minnesota, AmHolt\u2019s workforce will be integrated into ProMach\u2019s Primary Packaging division.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

ProMach president and CEO Mark Anderson commented: \u201cThe 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.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis 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.\u201d<\/p>\n

Amholt\u2019s former CEO Cliff Gilbert will take on the position of senior vice president within ProMach\u2019s Primary Packaging unit.<\/p>\n

Gilbert said: \u201cJoining ProMach is an exciting opportunity that will allow us to continue and expand our vision to be a world-class solution provider.\u201d<\/p>\n

In 2024, ProMach acquired Mexican pressure-sensitive and radio-frequency identification (RFID) labels producer<\/a> Etiflex.\u202f<\/p>\n
