The Fisher-Barton Group, headquartered in Waukesha, Wis., is pleased to announce the addition of a sixth company to their family of manufacturing companies.
Lineage Alloys, a leading thermal spray powder manufacturer located near Houston, Texas, was purchased by The Fisher-Barton Group on Dec. 14, 2010. The transaction marries two successful coating manufacturers, adding more depth to Fisher-Barton’s engineered wear resistance solutions currently produced at their Sun Prairie, Wis. facility, Thermal Spray Technologies and Fisher-Barton Specialty Products in Watertown, Wis.
“This new partnership is very exciting for us,” states Bill Lenling, president of Thermal Spray Technologies, Inc. “With more than thirty-five years of coating expertise, and a solid reputation of manufacturing high quality thermal spray powders, Lineage Alloys complements our existing capabilities nicely. The acquisition will help to further advance the performance and durability of all surface engineered coatings currently produced for our customers.”
Lineage Alloys’ commitment to research and development combined with a diverse contact network throughout the industry will prove beneficial and allow for even greater advances in the materials and coating technologies offered by Lineage Alloys and Thermal Spray Technologies.
