2024年3月7日，美國鑄造協(xié)會(huì)（AFS）的企業(yè)會(huì)員，位于印第安納州奧本的金屬技術(shù)公司（Metal Technologies Inc.，簡稱MTI）宣布收購擁有兩個(gè)鋁壓鑄和擠壓鑄造工廠以及一個(gè)球墨鑄鐵鑄造廠的Key 3 Casting LLC。

Metal Technologies Acquires Key 3 Castings

March 7, 2024

AFS Corporate Member Metal Technologies Inc. (MTI) of Auburn, Indiana, has acquired Key 3 Casting LLC, which owns and operates two aluminum die and squeeze casting facilities as well as a ductile iron foundry.

此次交易涉及的工廠包括位于田納西州杰克遜的杰克遜壓鑄有限責(zé)任公司（Jackson Die Casting LLC）、位于明尼阿波利斯的明尼阿波利斯壓鑄有限責(zé)任公司（Minneapolis Die Casting LLC）以及位于明尼蘇達(dá)州希賓的北方鑄造廠（Northern Foundry）。這些工廠的年銷售額總計(jì)約為7400萬美元，擁有約300名員工。

The facilities involved in the sale include Jackson Die Casting LLC in Jackson, Tennessee; Minneapolis Die Casting LLC in Minneapolis; and Northern Foundry in Hibbing, Minnesota. The combined operations have approximately $74 million in annual sales and 300 employees.

MTI總裁馬修·費(fèi)特（Matthew Fetter）表示：“收購Key 3是MTI戰(zhàn)略計(jì)劃的重要組成部分，旨在增強(qiáng)我們的金屬鑄造能力，以滿足客戶的長期需求。Key 3的收購使我們獲得了壓鑄、擠壓鑄造、增值服務(wù)以及小型球墨鑄鐵鑄造的能力。此外，位于田納西州杰克遜的工廠為我們提供了一個(gè)平臺(tái)，以應(yīng)對南方制造業(yè)的增長。”

“The Key 3 acquisition is an integral part of MTI’s strategic plan to grow our metal casting capabilities to serve our customers’ long-term needs,” said MTI President Matthew Fetter. “The Key 3 acquisition gives us die casting, squeeze casting, value add services and small ductile iron casting capability. In addition, the location in Jackson, Tennessee provides us with a platform to meet the growth of manufacturing in the South.

他補(bǔ)充說：“我們明顯看到了市場上的一個(gè)長期趨勢，即通過設(shè)計(jì)更小、更輕的鑄鐵部件或使用更輕的材料如鋁來減少鑄件重量。Key 3的收購不僅為MTI提供了世界級(jí)的制造版圖以滿足市場需求，還為我們帶來了一支出色的技術(shù)和管理團(tuán)隊(duì)來執(zhí)行我們的戰(zhàn)略計(jì)劃。我們對歡迎Key 3團(tuán)隊(duì)成員加入MTI大家庭的機(jī)會(huì)感到興奮。

“We definitely see a long-term trend in the marketplace to reduce casting weight by engineering smaller, lighter iron components or by utilizing lighter materials such as aluminum,” he added. “The Key 3 acquisition not only provides MTI with a world class manufacturing footprint for meeting market demand but provides us with an excellent technical and management team to execute our strategic plan. We are excited about the opportunities of welcoming the Key 3 team members into the MTI family.

“北方鑄造廠是我們在球墨鑄鐵領(lǐng)域已經(jīng)強(qiáng)大的地位的自然補(bǔ)充，特別是在小型、輕量級(jí)球墨鑄鐵鑄件方面擁有特殊的細(xì)分市場。”

“Northern Foundry is a natural addition to our already strong position in iron castings with a special niche in small, lightweight ductile iron castings.”
