Stuttgart, Germany / Cincinnati - April 2, 2019 – As part of Leadec’s continued growth in the North American market, Leadec made its first acquisition since becoming an independent company in 2017.

HVMC is based in Tennessee and serves small to mid-sized manufacturers with its extensive manufacturing consulting capability. The company’s mission is to provide quick response solutions that net high value manufacturing results. HVMC was founded by manufacturing expert William May. His experience includes working from assembly and machining to advanced manufacturing techniques with industry giants like Ford and General Motors.
William May says: “The two companies complement each other ideally in operational footprint and customers served, enabling the combined entity to immediately bring added value to existing customers through an expanded service portfolio.”
Leadec is a global industrial service company with approximately 20,000 employees worldwide, with 3,800 located in North America. The driving goal for Leadec is to become the leading service provider for the factory of today and tomorrow.
“I am truly excited to offer our Leadec customer base the benefits of the many years of extensive manufacturing experience available via HVMC,” stated Leadec North America CEO William Bell. “Leadec North America can now offer expanded engineering capabilities with our existing installation, maintenance and support services. Together, we have a unique opportunity to create a customer-focused service company with an enhanced focus on high value engineering solutions and expanded services offerings.”
