MXD Process’ acquisition of Heritage Equipment Company leverages 40+ years of industry experience and significantly expands manufacturing capabilities at both facilities as part of its strategic growth strategy.
Jeffersonville, IN, May 31, 2023 - MXD Process (MXD), an industry leader in process engineering and equipment, announced today its acquisition of process equipment manufacturer Heritage Equipment Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, BCast Stainless Products. The acquisition serves to strengthen the MXD Process family of brands by incorporating Heritage’s expansive industry expertise, international supply chain and robust manufacturing capabilities.
With this acquisition, MXD reinforces its commitment to delivering exceptional products and services to its customers. Heritage’s expertise and customer base aligns very well with MXD’s growth strategy, enabling the company to tap into new markets and opportunities. Leadership from both teams express their enthusiasm for the future of MXD and the impact our combined efforts will have to continue improving every process we touch. “With our investment in Heritage we are expanding both our deep process expertise and production capacity to strengthen our position as an industry leader in process engineering and manufacturing,” said Mark Franco, CEO of MXD Process.
