Sauereisen Acquires Pocono Fabricators

Manufacturer of Pre-Krete® products - A new business unit of Sauereisen

Pittsburgh, PA — Sauereisen, a third-generation manufacturer of corrosion-resistant materials, recently announced the acquisition of Pocono Fabricators, formerly a division of Patterson-Kelley – a HARSCO Corporation.

"This strategic acquisition will provide Sauereisen with the opportunity to strengthen its position in both existing and new markets," said Sauereisen president, Eric Sauereisen. "Additionally, Pocono Fabricators' robust product offering, including the Pre-Krete® cementitious protective linings, will nicely supplement the existing polymer lining segment of our corrosion-resistant product line."

Pocono Fabricators will operate as a separate division of Sauereisen. Pre-Krete products will continue to be promoted and supplied through an international network of distributors/ applicators, helping to ensure continuity of products and services. Additionally, long-time general manager of Pocono Fabricators, Robert B. Boileau, will remain in his current position.

"We're pleased by Mr. Boileau's commitment to join us in providing the marketplace not only with quality, long-lasting protective products, but also with his expertise," said Eric Sauereisen.

Pocono Fabricators was originally established in the mid 1960s to promote the use of their Pre-Krete product line in potable water service. Over the years, the company has established a strong reputation for enhancing the infrastructure of numerous industrial markets including power generation, pulp and paper and chemical processing.
