Röhm Products of America, Inc. (Suwanee, GA) has acquired Master WorkHolding, Inc. (Morganton, NC), which enables them to combine their 100 years of workholding experience with Master WorkHolding’s 30 years of experience to deliver a truly complete range of standard and custom workholding equipment and automation systems for all CNC equipment. “With them joining our team, we will be able to deliver even more comprehensive workholding and automation systems,” said Matthew Mayer, the chief executive officer for Röhm Products of America. “Both companies have prioritized helping manufacturers obtain quality systems that maximize productivity and throughput, and this acquisition will make it even easier for our customers to obtain the highest levels of efficiency in turning, milling, grinding and robotic applications.”
Established in North Carolina in 1988, Master WorkHolding has specialized in the design and manufacture of custom prismatic workholding for manufacturers across the continent and around the world. Following this acquisition, they will serve as Röhm’s North American manufacturing entity and provide them with prismatic clamping fixtures. “We are thrilled to celebrate our merger with them,” said Mike Powell, the founder and president of Master Workholding. “Together we will be able to provide custom and standard lines of stationary and rotating workholding and automation, offering our customers a complete range of solutions.”
An active member of the Society of Manufacturing Technology (SME) and the Association of Manufacturing Technology (AMT), the latter of which he served as director, Powell has more than 40 years of experience as a strong supporter of the manufacturing industry. His company, which began as a two-man operation, is widely regarded as one of the premier workholding suppliers in the industry and, prior to the acquisition, the ISO 9001-2015-certified company sold and delivered thousands of projects over the last 30 years.
