Breyden says hello to Saylor

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.

Breyden Products of Indiana has purchased Saylor Products Corp of Grand Rapids, Ohio.
