Tooling components manufacturer Jergens Inc. acquired Pennsylvania-based Bock Workholding Inc. for an undisclosed amount.
Bock makes and distributes workholding solutions designed to improve productivity of vertical and horizontal machining centers and flexible manufacturing cells. The company offers a large selection of workholding solutions, including twin production vises, locating systems, 5-axis vises and more.
“Bock’s and Jergens’ combined product lines are a perfect fit,” said Sean Stapulionis, Jergens’ general manager, tooling and components division. “Adding the Bock people and products demonstrates Jergens’ commitment to innovative workholding solutions—it is a wonderful opportunity to broaden our offerings in vises and quick-change fixturing. Our customers will still have access to the Bock team and to the reliable products they know.”
Bock’s U.S. headquarters is in Ford City, Pa., and the company has sales partners in Europe, Asia and Australia. Jergens is based in Cleveland.
