BICO Steel has acquired Integrity Fab and Machine Inc. (IFABM), further expanding its processing and fabrication capabilities.
BICO is a processor of heavy carbon steel plate and forged specialty alloy steel in Mogadore, Ohio, providing die casting, fabrication, machining, and other processes that serve various end-use segments.
The addition of Breckenridge, Mich.-based IFABM, which specializes in custom fabrications, die sets, plate, and parallels, enables BICO to satisfy growing customer demands.
“We couldn’t have found a better fit for BICO than IFABM. Kirk, Rollie and Trent have long histories serving the tool and die/metal stamping and agricultural industries and have built an envious market position with IFABM. The combined capabilities of the two companies will allow us to serve the growing demand we see from customers in a variety of steel related end markets,” said John Frazier, CEO of BICO.
