COLUMBIA CITY, Ind. (August 24, 2010) – Breyden Products, Inc. announced today that the company has acquired the Electronics Division of Pennsylvania-based Gudebrod, Inc., which will be incorporated into Breyden Products’ Columbia City, Indiana operations.
“This acquisition enhances our company’s position as the largest supplier of lacing tapes, cords, and braider yarns for the wire harnessing industry,” said Breyden Products Vice President of Sales Mike Zuber, “We look forward to serving an expanded customer base with a continued focus on product quality and customer service.”
Breyden Products manufactures military specification lacing tapes, twines, yarns and cords, commercial grade lacing and tying materials, and sleevings used in the aerospace and wire harnessing industries. The company also manufactures braided or twisted tapes, cords and twines utilized in the electric motor industry for lacing stators.
In 2009, the company expanded its facility at 71 Radio Road to add a shipping & receiving area, purchased new equipment to increase company capabilities, and added one new fulltime employee. Additional investment and job creation to support the Gudebrod Electronics Division purchase have not been finalized.
“On behalf of Columbia City, congratulations to the owners and employees of Breyden Products on their continued growth and success," said Columbia City Mayor Jim Fleck, “The City and the EDC will continue to work with companies like Breyden Products to encourage their investment in our community.”
The Whitley County EDC will continue to work with local and state partners to identify opportunities to support Breyden Products’ business development goals.
