New global screening alliance
Haver & Boecker, W.S. Tyler And Major Wire bring together their collective screening experience
GERMANY’s Haver & Boecker – owners of W.S. Tyler Canada Ltd, based in St Catharines, Ontario – and Montreal-based Major Wire Industries Ltd have established a new global screening alliance.
Bringing together the companies’ collective experience of more than 250 years in screening and a broad product line involving vibrating screens, washing and pelletizing equipment and screen media, the alliance seeks to expand growth opportunities while further strengthening current capabilities with customers throughout North America and globally.
Representing their parent company Haver & Boecker, W.S. Tyler have initially acquired a 40% share of Major Wire Industries and will purchase the remaining 60% in 2016.
In North America, W.S. Tyler have Canadian facilities in St Catharines, Ontario, and Edmonton, Alberta, and a US facility in Salisbury, North Carolina, while Major Wire have operations in the Montreal area of Canada and a US facility in Puyallup, Washington.
W.S. Tyler’s management has asked Major Wire to manage the Salisbury woven-wire facility with the intent to serve Major Wire’s extensive dealer network throughout the US and in Latin America. All remaining operations for both companies within North America and globally will continue to operate independently.
W.S. Tyler and Major Wire dealers and representatives throughout the world will also continue to serve their respective customers and prospects as at present.
‘Our alliance with Major Wire will be a unique opportunity for two family-owned manufacturers to effectively employ their combined strengths and expertise to the benefit of the North American and global mining, mineral and aggregates markets,’ commented Walter Haver, joint owner of Haver & Boecker. ‘It is clearly a win-win for all personnel, sales channels, vendors and, most of all, the customers we serve.’
