Superior Industries, Inc, the US manufacturer and global supplier of bulk material handling systems, says it has entered into an agreement to acquire Clemro Western Ltd. The 30-year-old Calgary, Alberta-based company is a leading manufacturer and supplier of crushing and screening equipment in western Canada. The company also supplies to clients in the US and throughout Latin America. The pending acquisition will allow Superior to increase its bulk handling product portfolio for its customers in aggregate and mining production.

Founded in 1981 by Ralph Fasoli, Clemro Western is best known for manufacturing a line of cone and jaw crushers, horizontal and incline screens and a collection of belt feeders. In 2008, Fasoli was recognised for his leadership when Ernst & Young named him a finalist for their Entrepreneur of the Year award. Later, Fasoli passed day to day operations of the company’s two plants to his son, Emmanuel, who continues in that role today.

Superior Industries engineers and manufactures innovative bulk handling equipment and cutting-edge components. From its headquarters in Morris, Minnesota, it supplies bulk washing and classifying systems, stacking and transfer conveyors, feed systems, and ship and barge loading equipment. In addition, Superior is one of just a few companies worldwide to manufacturer many related components including conveyor idlers, pulleys and accessories and a collection of replacement parts for washing and classifying equipment. The 43-year-old manufacturer operates additional plants in Arizona, Georgia and Nebraska.
