Elgin, Illinois – October 2017 – Quantum Plastics has announced that it has acquired the medical drinkware product line of Thermoserv. Based in Dallas, TX, Thermoserv is a leading manufacturer of innovative drinkware and tableware.
The acquisition includes certain proprietary molds, molding machines, auxiliary and secondary equipment, as well as a viable book of business with several top-tier customers in the medical device industry. The business will be transitioned from Thermoserv’s headquarters in Dallas to Quantum’s molding plant in Fort Smith, AR. The deal helps Quantum Plastics expand in the medical industry and also gives it a proprietary line of drinkware products. From Thermoserv’s perspective, the sale provides capital and frees up floor space in its factory, which will allow Thermoserv to pursue growth opportunities closer to its core business in drinkware and tableware.
“Quantum Plastics will continue to grow through both organic growth and M&A. We are excited to market this propriety drinkware through our Hospitec division. As with our previous acquisitions, we anticipate this new line to ensure our growing company a stronger foothold in the plastics industry,” said Ron Embree, President and CEO of Quantum Plastics.
The acquisition marks the eighth M&A transaction completed in the plastic molding industry for Quantum Plastics, which purchased Master Molded Products in 2014. It followed this initial deal with acquisitions of River Bend Industries, Apollo Plastics and Hospitec USA in 2015. Quantum added 3D Plastics and Plasticos Promex USA in 2016.
