CLEVELAND & DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Align Capital Partners’ (“ACP”) custom sealing solutions provider Marco Rubber & Plastics (“Marco” or the “Company”) has acquired Allied Metrics O-Rings & Seals (“Allied”), a distributor of specialty O-rings, seals and gaskets.

“This was the right time in Allied’s growth journey to partner with Marco, a market leader that shares our passion for delivering high quality products and exceptional customer service. I look forward to seeing the combined business thrive in the coming years,” said Westerman.

Allied enhances Marco’s product depth and customer base while providing incremental growth opportunities across multiple end-markets.
