Blue Point and Alco Are a Well-Oiled Machine with the Acquisition of K&M Precision Products Co.

CLEVELAND, Feb. 01, 2017 -- Blue Point Capital Partners and its Blue Point II portfolio company, Alco Manufacturing Corporation, LLC, announced today the acquisition of K&M Precision Products Co., a complementary precision machined steel products manufacturer and Alco’s third facility acquired while partnered with Blue Point.

“K&M continues Alco’s capability expansion and is the second transaction in twelve months for Alco, following the 2016 add-on acquisition of Lakeshore,” said Sean Ward, a Partner with Blue Point. “Alco is the one-stop machining company for the fittings industry, and the continued expansion positions Alco for future end market and material growth.”

Alco maintains a significant market share with many of the largest North American fittings companies and serves a variety of end markets, including construction, agriculture, mining, water management and energy. The acquisition of K&M, located in Dexter, Michigan, will expand Alco’s domestic footprint and capture new industries served, such as aerospace and maritime.

“At Alco, we seek continuous improvements with respect to our customer partnerships through an array of value-add initiatives. K&M’s quality, raw material diversity, time-tested performance and company culture are all complementary to these initiatives. We are excited about the addition of K&M and look forward to the next chapter of Alco’s growth,” said DJ Mumma, President of Alco.
