Breyden Products
of Indiana has purchased
Saylor Products Corp
of Grand Rapids, Ohio.
Breyden manufactures a complete line of
Mil spec lacing tapes and cords, tapes and
overbraiding yarns used in the wire harnessing
industry, and lacing tapes, cords, and ropes
used in the manufacture of electrical motors
and transformers. The company has grown over
the past five years, taking advantage of a strong
distributor base and the acquisition of Gudebrod
Inc, a competitor based in Pottstown, Pennsylvania.
“Our market portfolio focuses on wire harnessing
products, sales of which are driven by military
and transportation expenditures, and on
electrical apparatus products which are driven
by housing development and capital equipment
purchases,” says Michael Zuber, Breyden’s VP of
sales. “Our recent acquisitions have broadened
our product base and have proven to be
a natural fit with our existing distributors.”
“The acquisition by Breyden will allow
Saylor to improve on its foundation and take
the company in a new direction,” says Saylor
GM Greg Westhoven. “Saylor’s products and
experience complement Breyden’s focus on
the wire harnessing industry. Our two product
lines combined will allow current and future
customers a fuller range of choices for their
wire protection needs.”
Saylor’s manufacturing facility in Ohio will
continue operation with all current employees.
