C&C Manufacturing LLC of Centerville, Iowa disclosed its acquisition of Al-Jon Manufacturing LLC’s Scrap Products Division located in Ottumwa, Iowa. The assets were purchased out of forclosure.
C & C has had a long-standing relationship with Al-Jon providing large precision machined weldments, a C&C specialty, since 1996.
C&C owners Gaylon and Geoff Cowan are delighted with their newest acquisition. “Al-Jon has been a family-owned and operated business since John Kneen opened it in 1963. We are incredibly excited to purchase a company with 54 years of history in the scrap metal and scrap vehicle recycling industries,” said C&C president Gaylon Cowan.
Curt Spry, a 25 year veteran in the scrap industry, 22 years with Al-Jon, will act as sales manager for the scrap equipment product line, “It is my intention to work with our C&C sales, service and manufacturing teams to quickly instill market confidence and familiarity with the new C&C brand. The name will change but the scrap processing equipment together with back-up service and parts support we supply to the market will be the same or better.” said Spry. The company will continue to operate out of its 200,000 sq.ft. Ottumwa, Iowa facility.
