Lincoln Electric Holdings has announced the recent acquisition of privately-held automated systems and tooling manufacturer, Tennessee Rand, Inc.
Tennessee Rand designs and manufactures tooling and robotic systems for welding applications. They specialize in equipment for the automotive and metal fabrication industries.
Tennessee Rand brings extensive tool design, system building, and machining capabilities that will enable Lincoln to further expand its welding automation business, said Christopher L. Mapes, CEO of Lincoln Electric.
The addition is a compliment to Lincoln’s May 2012 purchase of Wayne Trail Technologies – another manufacturer of automation and tooling systems.
Lincolns market strength and worldwide reach enable Tennessee Rand to expand its business and support customers with global deployment strategies, stated Don Peters, President of Tennessee Rand. We are pleased to now be a part of Lincoln Electric.
Tennessee Rand’s headquarters and manufacturing operations are based out of Chattanooga, Tennessee. The company has annual sales of approximately $35 million.
