Maine-based composite manufacturer Kenway Corporation has acquired the assets of recently dissolved Harbor Technologies, LLC.
Kenway Corporation specializes in composites products for the heavy industry, infrastructure and government/military markets and says that this acquisition expands its product offerings in the waterfront infrastructure market.
The Harbor Technologies assets are being moved to Kenway's Augusta facility, which is expanding with the addition of 10,000 ft2 of manufacturing space. Harbor Technologies' management team has joined Kenway Corporation.
Harbor Technologies is now a division of Kenway Corporation and will continue to develop the products introduced by the former manufacturer, including the composite HarborPile, a piling used in load-bearing, guiding and fendering applications and the HarborCamel, a composite fender used for impact protection for both vessels and piers. Kenway plans to expand these offerings into engineered composite systems that include the composite beams, lumber, stay-in-place forms and other components required for a complete system installation. Customers range from federal and state organizations – such as the U.S. Coast Guard, U.S. Navy and Departments of Transportation — to commercial and private waterfront developers.
Tremendous value
‘For a long time we have admired the visionary nature of the Harbor Technologies products and how they solve long-standing marine infrastructure corrosion and degradation problems,’ said Kenway Corporation's president, Ian Kopp. ‘The breadth of Kenway Corporation's composites engineering and advanced manufacturing capabilities will bring tremendous value to the Harbor Technologies' customer base.’
