Balanced Enterprise Solutions LLC, parent company of Evans Machinery Co. and Ritter Machinery Co., announces the acquisition of the countertop and post-forming machinery division of Midwest Automation in Minneapolis.
The purchase will serve to expand the Evans Machinery’s offerings to customers in the countertop production industry through North and Central America under the name Evans Midwest. For years, the Evans Machinery line has catered to smaller countertop shops, and this acquisition allows Evans to enhance their offerings to more automated, high volume customers, according to the company.
All production of the Midwest brand of countertop and post-forming machinery is being moved to BES’s production facility in Holland, Mich.
“The Midwest brand is a premier, American-made machinery line. This acquisition complements our overall machinery offering so we can now provide more automated and efficient American-made machinery to the countertop production industry. This investment in the expanded Evans Midwest brand represents our commitment to building machinery in the United States and our belief in the great people that we employ to build our machinery,†Don Mulder, president of Balanced Enterprise Solutions, said in a statement.
