UPG Expands Portfolio with Metalex Acquisition
Written by Tim Triplett
Chicago-based UPG Enterprises LLC has acquired Metalex LLC and its Morton Rail Products division, formerly known as Morton Manufacturing Co. Metalex is a manufacturer of perforated products, expanded metal, safety grating, perforated tubes and architectural metals.
UPG said this acquisition significantly enhances its portfolio, not only with a suite of new products and capabilities, but with two modern facilities, including one in San Luis Potosi, Mexico. The acquisition continues to fuel UPG’s strategy to move further down the supply chain to offer expanded capabilities and products to current and future customers.
