"Kip will play a key role in setting a clear vision for the entire Thiele sales team that will help to further strengthen our market leadership."
Thiele Technologies has continued its commitment to a balanced and diversified market strategy with a series of acquisitions beginning in June 2005 with Edmeyer, Inc., a well-known manufacturer of packaging equipment for the dairy industry. In April 2006, Thiele's growth initiatives continued with the purchase of Slidell, Inc., which expanded its range of bagging and palletizing applications for customers in the chemical, feed, seed and other bulk material handling markets.
In November 2006, Thiele announced an agreement to acquire Streamfeeder, LLC, which expanded its presence in the commercial printing, packaging and mail fulfillment sectors. And in February, Thiele completed its fourth acquisition, SWF Companies of Reedley, Calif., which positioned Thiele as one of the largest system manufacturers of primary, secondary bagging, cartoning, case packing and robotic packaging solutions across a broad spectrum of industries.
Each of these acquisition opportunities has allowed Thiele to provide its growing customer base with superior access to a comprehensive line of high-speed packaging machinery solutions, as well as one of the industry's largest field service organizations.
