Kason CEO Jonathan Weiner said: “The acquisition expands Kason’s global reach while broadening its portfolio of solutions-based equipment and systems for pharmaceutical, food, dairy, chemical, plastics and powder coating applications.”

 

The deal is said to make Kason the world’s largest manufacturer of centrifugal sifting equipment, produced by both companies, and adds mixers, blenders, reactors, kibblers, cone mills, universal mills, air classifier mills, vertical sifters and solid-liquid separators to the equipment line.

Kek-Gardner management and manufacturing, located 25 miles south of Manchester will oversee Kason’s European operations.

George Tunnicliffe, former managing director of Kek-Gardner, will become managing director of Kason Europe. Henry Alamzad will continue as Kason’s president and head of global sales and marketing.
