Ohio Transmission Corp. Acquires C&C Industrial and Midway Industrial Supply

January 3, 2017
Ohio Transmission Corporation, an industrial equipment service provider and distributor headquartered in Columbus, Ohio, recently announced the acquisition of both C & C Industrial Sales, LLC, and Midway Industrial Supply.
 
C & C Industrial Sales, LLC, known in the marketplace as CCIS, is headquartered in Gallatin, Tenn., with a second location in Raleigh, N.C., and specializes in spray finishing systems, installation, service and repair across the south and southeastern United States. Midway Industrial Supply, Inc., headquartered in Minneapolis, Minn., also specializes in spray finishing systems as well as sealant and adhesive application systems to industrial customers throughout the upper and central Midwest region, along with Midway Industrial’s recent acquisition of Contrast Equipment Company based in Kansas City, Mo. The companies will operate as divisions of OTP Industrial Solutions, which provides technical sales and service for industrial spray finishing, sealant and adhesive, automation, pumps, motion control, fluid power, and power transmission systems.
 
“Both CCIS and Midway Industrial are leaders in their respective markets with outstanding associates and management teams,” said Phil Derrow, president and CEO of Ohio Transmission Corporation. “Together with OTP’s already strong presence in the finishing, sealant, and adhesive application markets in several states, the addition of CCIS and Midway will make OTP a national leader with the ability to provide customers with unmatched system integration capabilities. OTP’s expertise in robotic and factory automation technologies also adds exciting new capabilities to better serve Midway’s and CCIS’s customers.”
 
With this acquisition, Ohio Transmission Corporation now has 27 locations throughout the South and the Midwest and Northeast regions, along with eight service shops. The addition of CCIS’s and Midway’s combined 75 associates brings Ohio Transmission Corporation’s existing workforce to more than 750 employees.
