Comprehensive portfolio
Lately , McLanahan ’ s growth has been through the roof thanks to strategic acquisitions , notably that of Diefenbach , an Italian manufacturer of filter presses and thickeners . Mark sheds light on the company ’ s considerations when acquiring a new business . “ Diefenbach , our latest acquisition , enabled us to expand our line of filter presses and thickeners . While we already offered these products , Diefenbach brought us a larger equipment range with more styles and features , thus enabling us to support a broader range of applications , including more mining sectors . For example , our iONIC Filter Press is built with high-grade stainless steel and protective coatings , allowing it to process highly acidic slurries , such as those found in lead and lithium battery recycling applications . This was a great addition to our product lineup , enhancing the range of solutions we provide to our existing customer base . When considering acquisitions , we are always looking at how well the products a company offers can integrate into our existing portfolio . In this case , Diefenbach was a natural extension ,” he enlightens .
