LA-CO Industries to acquire J.P. Nissen Company
LA-CO Industries Inc. has agreed to acquire the J.P. Nissen Company, a manufacturer of industrial marking products for the welding, fabrication and construction markets.
The J.P. Nissen Company was founded in 1923 to manufacture markers for the textile industry. Since then, the Nissen brand has expanded to include markers for all industrial purposes, with emphasis on products for the metal-marking industry.
In bringing together the Nissen line of products with the Markal and Tempil brands, LA-CO Industries now provides a combination of industrial marking and temperature-indicating products to a wide range of customers and markets globally.
“We are thrilled to welcome Nissen to our family of high-quality, right-for-the-job marking solutions, and to provide another high-performance product line to industrial trade professionals around the world,” said John Hardin, CEO of LA-CO Industries.
“It’s exciting when competitors become partners,” said Benjamin Kleiman, director of marketing at LA-CO Industries. “Broader market coverage, more innovation and an even higher level of customer satisfaction in marking solutions is our combined future.”
The Nissen product line includes metal roller-ball, liquid paint, solid paint and low corrosion industrial marking products. Bulkley Capital, LP advised LA-CO Industries on the acquisition.
