Charlotte, NC - "I promised my employees I would take care of them," were the words Ron Baysden shared with prospective buyers of his CNC machining operation. This month, that promise was upheld when he sold the assets of Bellwright Manufacturing, LLC ("Bellwright") to Skyway Precision, Inc ("Skyway").
Bellwright, a CNC machining operation based in Summerville, SC, provides Skyway a Southeast presence, strong workforce and expanded customer base. Bellwright serves heavy truck, automotive, agriculture and industrial sectors with quality machined components.
Bill Bonnell, President of Skyway, added, "We are excited to work with the Bellwright team to enhance our value proposition to our customers. This transaction demonstrates our continued commitment to leadership in our core products and technologies and to creating long-term, value-added partnerships with our customers. We will continue to pursue disciplined organic growth with our customers, as well as strategic acquisitions."
