HA International, Westmont, Ill., announced it purchased Wedron Flux from Black Lab Corp., Chardon, Ohio, on April 1.

The company said the move is intended to broaden HA’s metalcasting market product offerings, a move it believes is in line with the advice of economists during recessionary periods.

“A well-known product line with strong brand recognition, Wedron Flux is a name synonymous with quality and integrity,” said Keith McLean, HA president. “By adding these high quality manual and injection flux grades, graphite shafts and rotors, and equipment to our product mix, we’re expanding our line to better serve our customers.”

HA indicated Black Lab will continue to manufacture Wedron’s products, and sales representation will remain in place there to support the line. HA will process all orders and invoicing.
