DURANGO, CO‚ Ska Fabricating is excited to announce its purchase of GR-X Manufacturing in a strategic move to leverage the two companies’ complementary strengths and technology.
GR-X Manufacturing, founded in 2015 and based in Grand Rapids Michigan, specializes in providing depalletizing and palletizing equipment systems for consumer products and food and beverage industries.
The two rapidly expanding suppliers of packaging solutions will benefit from each others capabilities to offer the best value and technology in packaging line solutions for small to midsize operations. Both companies provide depalletizing and packaging solutions for various consumer packaged goods, though there is very little overlap in their specific market segments.
In announcing the acquisition, former Ska Fabricating CEO Jim Mackay said, Ska Fabricating’s roots lie in the craft beer market, and we’ve quickly grown from that foundation into other rigid packaging and can decorating lines. We see this as a natural progression in our growth as an industry leader in container handling.
Both companies have found success in the packaging equipment market by focusing on meeting unique needs overlooked by other suppliers and offering excellent value.
