Ohio Rod Products acquired the assets of Rhode Island Fabricators and relocated the equipment to Indiana, Ohio Rod president Jeff Liter announced.
Gary Walston, president of Ohio Rod’s parent company Elgin Fastener Group, noted that he has “talked business with Andy Anderson as a friendly competitor since 1996 and was pleased that when he decided to retire and sell R.I. Fabricators, he and I were in close agreement about how to move forward with care of the customers as a top priority.”
R.I. Fabricators started in 1962 as a distributor and began manufacturing in 1978.
Part of the Elgin Fastener Group, Ohio Rod manufactures small diameter cold-headed and threaded long-length specialty fasteners for the durable goods and consumer product industries. Ohio Rod was founded in 1947 and is headquartered at 1415 S. Benham Rd., Versailles, IN 47042. Tel: 812 689-6565 Fax 812 689-6635 E-mail: ohiorod@eni.com Web: ohiorod.com �2006 FastenerNews.com
