AOTCO Metal Finishing, a provider of specialty finishing services, is acquiring Connecticut-based Modern Metal Finishing (MMF), further improving AOTCO's portfolio with MMF’s anodizing services.
This acquisition assists with AOTCO’s growth strategy, building on a series of past acquisitions and underscoring the company’s commitment to becoming a national finishing partner for advanced manufacturers.
For customers in New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut, the acquisition offers an additional benefit. “Customers tell us that local pickup and delivery service helps save time and money,” says Matt Smith, AOTCO’s president. “MMF will serve as a distribution hub, giving customers throughout the tri-state area access to local pickup and delivery both for AOTCO’s electroplating and MMF’s anodizing services. AOTCO and MMF share a commitment to customer collaboration, superior quality, and quick turnarounds. MMF’s top-tier anodizing capabilities, coupled with their commitment to best-in-class environmental practices, align closely with our own values and high standards.”
AOTCO and MMF will continue to operate at existing locations, retaining employees and management teams to promote a seamless integration and continuity of service for customers.
"We are excited to join the AOTCO family,” says Paul Decerbo, MMF’s General Manager. “Our customers stand to gain substantially from this integration, which extend our footprint, enrich our service offering, and elevate our position as a trusted partner in our industry."
