On June 30, industrial blade manufacturer Valley Grinding & Manufacturing announced the acquisition of Quality Edge, a  knife manufacturer with specialization in the food industry.

Pneumatic and hydraulic accessories company Milton Industries acquired Rochester Hills, Michigan-based Thunder Technologies LLC, a company that manufactures industrial hose, piping expansion joints, cut rubber and gasket products.
