Duravant LLC, a global engineered equipment and automation solutions provider to the food processing, packaging and material handling sectors, announced that it has acquired T-TEK Material Handling LLC, a manufacturer of high-speed packaging machinery and systems solutions headquartered in Montgomery, Alabama. T-TEK designs, builds and services innovative end-of-line equipment including palletizers, depalletizers, conveyors, and custom automated lines for blue chip producers of packaged food, beverage, and consumer products. Recognized for their extensive technical knowledge of palletizing applications, T-TEK is a leader in delivering turnkey systems as well as equipment rebuilds and upgrades for any existing machinery brand. 

“We’re excited to welcome T-TEK to Duravant,” said Mike Kachmer, Chairman and CEO of Duravant. “T-TEK has an impressive history of fostering strong customer relationships through a differentiated service delivery model. Their technical sales and consultation process is key to their longstanding partnerships with brand owners, facility operators, engineering firms, and integrators.” 

T Tek Logo 4 CT-TEK’s approach begins with understanding customers’ production goals and tailoring a line plan that blends current assets and processes with new technologies to deliver maximum investment output. T-TEK has a proven reputation of delivering innovation and quality for high-speed production environments. With deep experience in high volume beverage production, T-TEK also excels at customized solutions that tackle small, non-standard packages that are fragile and difficult to palletize. 

T-TEK is a strategic acquisition for Duravant as the company expands its reach in the growing packaged food and beverage sector. T-TEK’s portfolio is highly complementary to Duravant’s product offering across its nVenia, Mespack and Wulftec brands, all members of Duravant’s packaging segment.

 “T-TEK’s technology and equipment offering aligns perfectly with palletizing solutions offered by nVenia,” said David Malinas, Chief Operating Officer, Duravant. “We now have a complete, comprehensive solution set for all palletizing applications. And with adjacent load containment solutions offered through Wulftec’s premier stretch wrapping and strapping technologies, customers have a trusted source for all their end-of-line packaging needs.” 

“We are excited to join forces with Duravant and to collaborate across their family of Operating Companies,” said Michael Traff, President of T-TEK. “Duravant’s established infrastructure and extensive aftermarket network through Duravant Lifecycle Services will help us accelerate our growth with new customers and invest in resources and new technologies that will enable us to better serve our existing customer base.”
