Zeon Corporation (Zeon; head office: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO: Kimiaki Tanaka) has acquired 100% of the shares of Edge Precision Manufacturing, Inc. (Massachusetts), through its subsidiary Zeon Specialty Materials Inc.
According to Edge’s CEO Andrew Kamholz, Ph.D., “the combination of Edge and ZEON offers our consumers exceptional security with a simpler supply chain supported by the parent company’s long-term track record of growth and success.” Edge can now improve both its unique thermal compression tooling and scale manufacturing technologies, providing the only process with high-quality products that doesn’t need a bridge tool between prototyping and large-scale production.
“The merger of Edge and ZEON provides our customers with unmatched security and a streamline supply chain, both of which are supported by the parent company’s long history of expansion and success.
