Hard materials specialist Hyperion Materials has acquired GLE Precision, a Michigan-based manufacturer that makes high-precision small parts and extreme surface finishes and tolerances.
GLE, founded in 1961 as a manufacturer of plug and ring gages, precision grinds tungsten carbide, ceramic and other hard materials, and produces custom parts.
‘GLE possesses unique knowledge in the manufacture of precision tooling, dies, components and other special wear parts,’ said Ron Voigt, CEO of Hyperion. ‘Together we can greatly expand the products and services we offer to a more diverse set of customers, especially those who manufacture high-value products in the waterjet cutting, semiconductor, fiber optics, medical and aerospace industries.’
