Deckerville, Mich. (PRWEB) August 15, 2016 -- Midwest Rubber Company, a manufacturer of rubber and plastic products will acquire Xccent Medical and Industrial Division, a manufacturer of rubber and flexible products for the medical and industrial industry, based in Wyoming, Minnesota, USA. Agreements to this effect were signed on August 8, 2016. Xccent M&I’s operation will transfer to Midwest Rubber’s headquarters in Sanilac County, Michigan. The acquisition will allow Xccent to continue to focus on their core business of fitness and playground equipment. All parties agree the purchase price will not be disclosed.
This move complements Midwest Rubber’s portfolio of business by expanding its reach in the medical and industrial sector. “This planned acquisition will further establish Midwest Rubber Company as a premier leader in the rubber and flexible products industry, and one of America’s few remaining latex dip molders. It will also bring ten new jobs to Michigan,” says Kenneth Jehle, president of Midwest Rubber Company.
