DISA Group, the biggest name in moulding and casting technology, has merged with Wheelabrator Group, the world leader in surface preparation technology, to form the world’s leading metallic parts enhancement company.
Effective from 1 May, the two companies, both owned by Mid Europa Partners, have been given official approval by the German Bundeskartellamt to complete their merger process, begun on September 4, 2008.
Robert E. Joyce Jr, president and CEO of the newly merged company said: “This is an incredibly exciting time for the company, our employees and our customers. I am confident that the merger of DISA and Wheelabrator will provide our customers with world-class technologies and local service offers unparalleled in our industry.
“Our central focus as a merged company is simple - enhance our customers’ metallic parts and components. We will do this by driving down their overall costs in two ways. First, we will focus on lowering their manufacturing cost-per-part and second, by providing a longer component life.”
As a united organisation, DISA Group and Wheelabrator Group employ 2,500 people across five continents and together serve such diverse industries as aerospace, automotive, energy, foundry, medical components, rail and marine.
