Engineered products and supply management services provider Park-Ohio Holding (PKOH 2.99%) said it was making a "look-alike" acquisition of molded products maker Bates for an undisclosed sum of money.
Park-Ohio is headquartered in Cleveland and operates 37 manufacturing sites and 45 supply chain logistics facilities throughout North America, Europe, and Asia. Bates is a manufacturer of extrusion, formed, and molded products for transportation and industrial applications.

Bates has been in the business over 40 years and has been servicing a great list of customers with an experienced workforce. We expect the annual revenues from Bates to exceed $45 million and be accretive to Park-Ohio earnings."
