Cumberland fills a gap
Chant Engineering has acquired
Cumberland Equipment Line, a division
of Cumberland Sales Company (CSC) of
Nashville.
Cumberland Equipment Line specializes
in products from take-up and payout
equipment to turntables and meter
stands. Cumberland’s gantry style
take-up machine is rated at 5,000 to
60,000lb reeling capacity, and is well
known for the heavy duty capabilities
required for big rigging shops as well as
providing the perfect degree of back
tension required for efficient wire rope
spooling.
“This is a fantastic acquisition for Chant
Engineering and we are very excited,”
said Philip Chant, president of Chant
Engineering. “This was the onemachinery
line we did not make or distribute.”
Started in 1970, Chant Engineering has
steadily developed its brand as a global,
diversified engineering company that
designs, manufactures, services and
calibrates testing machines, systems
and related accessories for worldwide
industrial and military customers. With the
addition of the Cumberland Equipment
Line, Chant now offers the complete
equipment range required for rigging
shops.
The recent acquisition comes on the
heels of Chant’s facility expansion
(January 2014) and partnership with
Talurit AB (2012). “Chant Engineering
has had phenomenal growth, and this
acquisition will only enhance our position
as the premier machinery supplier to the
rigging industry,” added Mr Chant.
