Teleflex Marine Announces Acquisition of Detwiler Industries, LLC
Teleflex Marine just announced that it has acquired Detwiler Industries, LLC of White Bear Lake, MN, a leading manufacturer of high performance hydraulic jack plates from MarineTech Products, Inc. This acquisition further strengthens Teleflex Marine’s position in marine control systems for powerboats.
“We are very excited to acquire Detwiler jack plates. It is a key addition in our strategy to grow both organically with new products such as our recently introduced Optimus 360 Joystick Control System, our new Xtreme Steering – and through acquisitions,” said Yvan Cote, CEO of Teleflex Marine. “This extension to our boat control portfolio fits well with our objective of continuing to enhance the boating experience. As the leader in bass boat steering, this product will fit perfectly with our SeaStar Pro Hydraulic Steering, SeaStar Pro Power Assist, and our popular Pro Trim.”
Detwiler jack plates are used to adjust the transom height of outboard motors and can be found on flats, bay and bass fishing boats, even offshore race boats. The brand enjoys an excellent reputation, especially in the amateur and professional tournament bass fishing market.
Teleflex Marine products and accessories for the recreational marine market are sold around the world under the SeaStar, Sierra, BayStar, Prime Line and Proheat brands. For information, visit: www.teleflexmarine.com.
