US Motor Works (USMW), a manufacturer of components for cooling systems and fuel systems based in Santa Fe Springs, California has signed an agreement to acquire the assets of OSC Automotive.
Todd Erwin, president & CEO of OSC Automotive and Gil Benjamin, president & CEO of US Motor Works have maintained a strong commercial relationship since US Motor Works has had the exclusive rights to market OSC radiators in Mexico. Both Erwin and Benjamin have been discussing how to grow each company and secure a significant position in the marketplace, and have agreed that the union of these two companies is the solution.
OSC Automotive, has made headway in the heat transfer segment while US Motor Works have penetrated the international, traditional and retail marketplace with cooling and fuel systems products. According to the companies, a combined effort will allow the new organization to become leaner and stronger.
Erwin will continue to run the OSC Automotive brand of US Motor Works and will continue to operate from its current facilities, while US Motor Works will continue to operate out of their current locations. In the coming months US Motor Works and OSC Automotive will be reaching out to their customers, suppliers and channel partners to share what the merger means to them.
