CDI Energy Products, LLC, producer of high-performance polymer product manufacturing, announced the acquisition of EGC Enterprises, Inc., a producer of graphite-based sealing products with locations in Ohio and North Carolina. The desired result of this acquisition will present an opportunity to increase the global reach, operational expertise, and diverse array of services available to CDI and EGC’s customers worldwide.
“We see synergy within our two businesses and the chance to deliver greater value to our customers around the globe. EGC shares CDI’s commitment to safety and quality, and we look forward to driving innovation through future collaborative opportunities,” says Clint Metcalf, CDI President.
