Graham Manufacturing has acquired FlackTek™, a specialist in materials processing solutions, for an undisclosed amount. The acquisition sees Graham Manufacturing integrate FlackTek's advanced centrifugal mixer technology and global operations into its portfolio. FlackTek™, headquartered in Landrum, South Carolina, has been a provider of high-speed, bladeless centrifugal mixers since 1996, serving applications from research and development to full-scale production.
FlackTek™ is known for its U.S.-built machines and accessories, manufactured at its facility outside Boulder, Colorado, using nationally sourced components. These mixers are capable of processing materials ranging from grams to 1200 kg per hour. The company has expanded its international footprint with facilities in Germany and Italy, alongside a growing network of global partners, enabling worldwide customer support. A key differentiator for FlackTek™ has been its comprehensive service, encompassing everything from initial demonstrations and model selection to in-depth training, technical support, and on-site maintenance.
This strategic acquisition is expected to enhance Graham Manufacturing's capabilities within the industrial equipment sector, particularly in advanced materials processing. By incorporating FlackTek's specialized technology and established market presence, Graham Manufacturing aims to broaden its product offerings and strengthen its position in providing high-performance solutions for complex formulation challenges and production scaling. The integration is anticipated to create synergies by combining Graham's operational strengths with FlackTek's innovative technology and renowned customer service.
The combined entity is poised to deliver an expanded range of materials processing solutions to a wider global customer base. This move underscores Graham Manufacturing's commitment to growth and innovation, leveraging FlackTek's expertise to meet evolving industry demands and provide enhanced value to customers worldwide.
