The full line will be marketed under the name "Buddy by Stone."
Lynne Woodworth, Stone President and CEO, said upon signing the agreement, that "this acquisition cements Stone's standing as the leader in portable mixers. With the Buddy acquisition Stones line up of mixers will fit any and all mixing needs or application, from small homeowner, do-it-yourself mixers, to the large high production Silo Mixers; and stiff, dense materials that require very heavy-duty applications."
The Buddy Mixers include three models of belt-driven, tow-behind mortar mixers at 8, 11, and 13 cu. ft. capacities along with a fully-enclosed gearcase 13 cu. ft. model. Patents previously held by Buddy Equipment include the paddle configuration that delivers "dynamic mixing" and the drum configuration, which eliminates the dead zone in a mixer for more thorough blending.
