Both, Forte and Charloma’s customers, will benefit from service by any of the three manufacturing facilities for faster and shorter delivery times.
Forte Products has acquired Charloma Inc. of Cherryvale, Kan.
Forte Products is a manufacturer and supplier of roto-molded plastic fixtures and equipment to the c-store and gas station market.
Charloma Inc. is a manufacturer of rotational, injection, thermoforming and fiberglass molding components for the automotive, lawn & garden, RV, packaging and construction industries. The company operates a 150,000- square-foot facility located in Cherryvale, Kan. and a 162,000- square-foot second facility in Burlington, Kan.
“We are energized about this acquisition and the timing could not be more perfect for Forte to strengthen its position in the industry with the solid foundation and high ranking that Charloma brings to the table” said Forte Products’ CEO, Brad Robertson. “The integration of the two companies will provide our existing and potential customers with added value in the form of state-of-the art equipment, supplementary processes, cost-effectiveness and the combined experience and expertise of a professional staff that is committed to drive full force growth in the business and for the industries we serve.”
Robertson further stated that “the core of our business is still to deliver exceptional customer service and a unique and personalized experience for every person who comes into contact with any Forte Products’ associate.”
Both, Forte and Charloma’s customers, will benefit from service by any of the three manufacturing facilities that are centrally located in the Midwest for faster and shorter delivery times to any point in the United States. Over the course of the next year, Forte Products will review the development and progress of the companies’ synergies and will make any and all necessary adjustments to achieve optimization and continuous innovation to better serve our markets.
