RotoPrecision Inc., Mississauga, Ont., recently acquired a company based in Norwich, Norfolk, U.K., called Strongbar Ltd. It specializes in the custom manufacture of high precision machined, hardened, and/or ground metal components--mostly linear or specialty shafts. "Strongbar possesses a high degree of engineering and technical expertise from which we hope to benefit," says RotoPrecision president Keith Mayo. "The company's reputation for extremely high quality workmanship and responsive service will be an excellent springboard for RotoPrecision's expansion into the European arena," he adds. To effect the transfer of management, a U.K.-based transition team has been established, consisting of Cullen Hawken, who will serve as a Canadian "envoy" for the administration, marketing, and management of the new business.
