Dundas company acquired by major metals manufacturer

A leading metals manufacturer has purchased Dundas-based Burloak Technologies.

Burloak designs, prototypes and develops additive metal and plastic components for aerospace, defence and commercial high-tech companies.

Through the acquisition, Samuel, Son and Co., Ltd. — a Mississauga-based company with facilities across North America — hopes to expand its 3D metal printing services to customers around the globe.

It “will allow the two companies to provide the strongest independent supply chain solution in the North American market,” a news release reads.

Burloak president Peter Adams said the deal “combines the stability, expertise and financial strength of a 160-year-old North American powerhouse in the metals market, with the passion for transformational engineering and manufacturing solutions that is part of the Burloak culture.”

Burloak, founded in 2005, is on MacNab Street in Dundas. Samuel, Son and Co. has more than 4,800 employees and 100-plus facilities.
