TFS, an OnPoint Group company, has acquired Curlin Material Handling Solutions. This acquisition brings new capabilities to the TFS Racking & Automation Division.

Dedicated to helping manufacturing, retail and distribution companies meet growing e-commerce demands, TFS specialises in delivering operational improvements to address space constraints, increase flexibility, and lower total cost while forgoing over-investing in the latest automation trend.

“We welcome Curlin Material Handling Solutions to the TFS family, expanding our capabilities to help businesses manage greater SKU variability and higher delivery speed at a lower cost. Curlin’s expertise in conveyor systems is a great asset for our clients,” says Michael Quimby, TFS chief operating officer.

“We are committed to growing our Racking & Automation Division, ensuring our customers have the tools they need to optimise their facilities and meet rising customer demands,” OnPoint CEO Tom Cox explains. “Curlin adds expertise in the design, integration and maintenance of conveyor systems for regional and national customers that need reliable, no-nonsense automation options.”

Since 1940, Curlin Material Handling Solutions has been a dependable integrator of materials handling systems and solutions across Florida, with a specialty in integration of complex receiving, storage, process conveyor, sortation and loading dock systems. “We believe TFS Racking & Automation Division is the right partner to let us share our expertise, specifically in conveyor capabilities, with a nationwide clientele,” says Bob Gesemyer, owner of Curlin Material Handling Solutions. “We are thrilled to support TFS Racking & Automation in helping businesses implement significant improvements at their facilities.”

Just last week, OnPoint subsidy Concentric acquired All Battery Sales and Service, a leader in DC power for forklifts as well as automotive and specialty power products. That acquisition extends Concentric's footprint into north-western US, including Washington, Oregon and Idaho.
