Datwyler Acquires Parco to Accelerate Profitable Growth

  • Posted by Parco Inc on October 1, 2018

On October 1, 2018, Parco was acquired by the Datwyler Group. With its acquisition of Parco, Datwyler has gained access to several strategically attractive industries for its Sealing Solutions division, particularly oil and gas, aerospace, and water filtration. In addition, Datwyler’s acquisition of Parco expands significantly Datwyler’s existing O-ring business. In 2015, Datwyler acquired an Italian O-ring manufacturer, Origom. Datwyler’s acquisition of Parco will also strengthen Datwyler’s presence in the United States.

A family-owned company, Parco is a leading manufacturer of O-rings and custom-molded rubber seals. Like Datwyler, Parco develops and mixes its own compounds and makes its own molds. With over 75 years’ experience, Parco has developed deep relationships with its customers, many of which stretch back decades. The combination of Parco’s efficient and automated production processes and industry leading quality have allowed Parco to achieve consistent, profitable growth.

Parco’s management team and employees will continue with the business to ensure Parco’s customers continue to receive excellent service.
