On Aug. 17, Zelienople, Pennsylvania-based industrial distributor Motion & Control Enterprises announced that it has acquired Ultimation Industries LLC, its fourth acquisition of 2023.

Based in Roseville, Michigan, Ultimation provides highly engineered automation and material handling solutions, as well as quick-ship distribution of material handling equipment products offered through an eCommerce platform. The company serves a broad range of end markets, including energy, automotive, logistics and vertical farming.

“We are excited to welcome Ultimation’s talented associates to the MCE family,” said Charles Hale, Chairman & CEO of MCE. “Ultimation adds to our engineered solutions capability, provides an enhanced offering for the growing material handling market and allows us to significantly expand our e-commerce capabilities.”

“The transition to MCE allows us to continue our strategy of providing customers with greater access to quality material handling solutions,” said Jacqueline Canny, CEO of Ultimation.
