New York-based private equity firm MFG Partners (“MFG”), an investor in founder and family-owned industrial businesses, announced today that it has completed the acquisition of Mellott Company (“Mellott” or the “Company”). The transaction was completed in partnership with Company management and PNC Mezzanine Capital. Terms of the transaction were not disclosed.

Founded in 1920 and headquartered in Warfordsburg, Pennsylvania, Mellott provides a full spectrum of integrated aggregates processing services and equipment, including equipment and parts distribution, service and repair, engineering and fabrication, as well as contract crushing.
