| Business Acquisition
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Felco Industries, a heavy equipment manufacturing company in Missoula, MT, was officially acquired by Mark Ehlke, Della Ehlke and Jim Burrington, owners of Montana Hydraulics, LLC, this last fall, 2008. The two companies have had a long vendor relationship and make a great team. We believe that this union will offer us and our customers greater
opportunities to provide products and services.
Felco, in business for two decades, manufactures excavator attachments,
including bedding conveyors, vibratory compaction buckets, wheel
compactors, roller compaction buckets and backfill conveyors.
Felco also specializes in major steel fabrication, custom design and engineering and specialty products. Montana Hydraulics, which recently celebrated its 10th
anniversary in Helena, machines the axles and axle assemblies for many of Felco's products, as well as bucket ears, wedge lock ears, lugs and pins. Felco's axles are unique in that they have sealed journal bearings and do not need to be oiled.
