Pro Mach acquires Mahaffy & Harder Engineering

Pro Mach has acquired the product line and certain assets of Mahaffy & Harder Engineering Co., a provider of hf/f/s and tray sealing packaging equipment.

This gives Pro Mach the capability to design and manufacture equipment that produces high-quality vacuum, modified atmosphere, and ambient packages. Mahaffy & Harder will become part of Pro Mach's Ossid div., a provider of leak proof packaging and labeling solutions for case-ready protein products.

"We're pleased to add the Mahaffy & harder product line to our range of primary packaging solutions, " says Bud Lane, president of Pro Mach's primary packaging business unit. "It complements our solutions offered by Ossid and provides us with opportunities to strengthen our business in existing markets, such as protein products, and expand our business in new markets, such as medical device and related hearth care products"
