Motion & Control Enterprises (MCE) has completed its second acquisition announced in an eight-day span, adding Belle Glade, FL-based Tripp Electric Motors to further expand its repair and service footprint in Florida.
The Zelienople, PA-based distributor announced May 21 that it acquired Tripp Electric Motors, a provider of repair and maintenance services for electric motors, gearboxes, pumps and related process equipment used in municipal and industrial applications across Florida. Terms were not disclosed.
The acquisition follows MCE’s May 13 announcement that it acquired TLR Hydraulics Inc., continuing an active growth stretch for the fluid power, automation and industrial supplies distributor.
“We are excited to announce this acquisition which strengthens our pump, motor and process equipment repair capabilities in the growing Florida water and wastewater market,” MCE Chairman and CEO Charley Hale said in the company’s announcement. “Tripp’s longstanding customer relationships and repair capabilities are a perfect addition to our existing Florida operations.”
Hale added that the combination positions the company to better support customers’ “complex, full lifecycle needs.”
Founded in 1951, MCE distributes technical fluid power, automation, flow control, rotating equipment and filtration products, along with repair and service solutions. The company serves more than 33,000 OEM and end-user customers through 62 facilities across 18 states.
MCE is backed by Chicago-based private equity firm Frontenac, which focuses on lower middle-market buyout investments in industrial, consumer and services sectors.
