Manufacturing Corporation of America (MCA), an investor-owned, industrial-focused business with a focus on revitalizing American manufacturing, has acquired Fossil Industries, a provider of precision sheet and tube laser cutting, bending and fabrication services. Effective immediately, Fossil Industries will operate under the MCA brand.

The acquisition brings renewed resources to the closed Fossil Industries metalworking factory in Hunker, Pa. , which had closed in May. According to a press release, MCA is actively rehiring former employees who wish to return and has already brought back six team members, with plans to triple the workforce by the end of the year.

“This acquisition represents a strategic expansion of our metal fabrication capabilities, directly supporting our recent Boss Lighting acquisition and furthering our diversification strategy,” says Steve Austin, president of MCA. “We’re excited to restore these valuable jobs to the community, and enhance our ability to support our customers throughout Pennsylvania, Ohio, and New York.”

Fossil Industries offers computer numerical control (CNC) laser cutting for sheet, tube and bar; multiple CNC press brakes; a Mandrel tube bender; and precision welding. The facility is equipped to handle everything from small-batch orders to full-scale production runs, serving industries such as automotive, oil and gas, medical devices, recreation, outdoor equipment, fitness equipment, and specialized tubing and sheet metal fabricators.
