BPOC noted the two companies strategic fit, synergy and cultural compatibility would allow MPE to enhance operational efficiencies, improve the total cost of owners and exceed customer expectations.
"RMF brings innovation and core competence in high cosmetic light gauge stamping and fabrication technologies that are integral to the evolving needs of our customers," said Hank Kohl, president and CEO of MPE. "RMF's business aligns with MPE as we continue to help original equipment manufacturers accelerate time to market at a lower total cost of ownership."
