Lamons acquires gasket producer
Lamons, a TriMas Corporation business, has acquired the operating assets and ongoing business of Tat Lee (Thailand) Ltd with effect from April 29.
Located in Rayong, Tat Lee is a producer and distributor of standard and speciality gaskets used especially in refineries and petrochemical and power plants.
“This acquisition enhances our capabilities throughout Southeast Asia,” said Kurt Allen, president of Lamons.
“Lamons now [has] an established branch in close proximity to two large global customers, allowing us to increase our service to them."
Over the past several years, Lamons has opened sales and service branches around the world to serve its global customers better.
Lamons further expanded its global footprint and product portfolio with the acquisition of Wulfrun Specialised Fasteners in Britain in March, and Brazil-based businesses Gasket Vedagues Ticnicas in January and CIFAL Industrial e Comercial in July last year.
Lamons recently established a new service branch in Vancouver, British Columbia, to improve its service to global customers. The scope of the company’s business is now approaching 30 locations strategically sited around the world to ensure prompt delivery, it says.
Lamons designs, manufactures and distributes industrial sealing products and fasteners for the petroleum refining, petrochemical, oilfield and other industrial markets. These highly engineered products are designed, manufactured and stocked in close proximity to their refining and petrochemical customers to ensure quick delivery and efficient service, it says.
Headquartered in Houston, Texas, Lamons is one of the largest gasket, fastener and
speciality bolt suppliers in the world.
