Marco Rubber & Plastics Debuts First Add-On; Acquires Premiere Precision Components

CLEVELAND & DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Align Capital Partners’ (“ACP”) specialty sealing distributor Marco Rubber & Plastics (“Marco” or the “Company”) has acquired Premiere Precision Components (“Premiere”) from KLH Capital. Premiere is a value-added supplier of custom manufactured molded rubber, plastic, and metal components.

Headquartered in Holiday, Florida, Premiere’s products are used in a variety of end markets including wireless and wired communications applications, pool and spa, lawn and garden, and HVAC, among others. “We built Premiere around the core tenant of providing unique, high-performance products and dependable delivery with a service-oriented culture,” said Premiere Founder and CEO Gail Selby. “Marco shares those same quality and service standards, which makes us excited to combine efforts to meet our customers’ most pressing specialty component needs.”

Marco leverages its technology platform to link a global supply network with more than 3,000 material formulations, more than one million SKUs, and custom products to provide cost-effective service internationally. “Gail built a great business with Premiere. Its rich culture, value-added services, and technical expertise align nicely with those of Marco,” Marco CEO Marty Daley said. “This is a highly strategic acquisition for us. Together our combined companies have a unique offering of high-performance O-rings, gaskets, bonded parts, specialty components, and assemblies that we provide with industry best quality standards and service levels.”

Premiere marks the Company’s first add-on since ACP’s acquisition in February of last year. “We remain excited about the industry and the inventive ways Marco is leveraging its proprietary technology to solve unique sealing requests, and the combined company will provide its customers with a broader range of high-performance products,” said ACP Managing Partner Chris Jones. Together, Marco and ACP will continue to pursue add-on acquisitions to augment the Company’s current product offering and distribution reach.

Operating Partner Bill White, Vice President Matt Iodice, and Associate Walker Tiller worked alongside Mr. Jones on the transaction.
