Newly formed Bison combines AMETEK DFS and Bison Gear and Engineering Corp.

AMETEK Dynamic Fluid Solutions and the former Bison Gear and Engineering Corp. have combined to create a business named Bison. The newly created Bison, a business of AMETEK, Inc., will provide a broader range of high-quality products, customization and integration support, accelerated time to production, and global manufacturing flexibility, the company explained.

Bison's brands include:

• Lamb Vacuum Motors
• Nautilair Combustion Blowers
• Prestolite Motors Brushed DC Motors
• ROTRON Regenerative Blowers
• ROTRON Transportation Pumps and Motors
• Windjammer Brushless Blowers

For more than 60 years, Bison Gear and Engineering Corp. has designed and manufactured fractional and integral horsepower electric motors, gear motors and reducers, washdown motors and a variety of accessories. The combined companies bring together hundreds of years of cumulative design expertise, the company stated, while its newly consolidated engineering team understands application technology challenges and provides customers with dedicated, tailored solutions across many markets and use cases.

Though the blended business unit is headquartered in Kent, Ohio, Bison said it brings global insights to customers through an international network supported by global sales offices and research facilities. With three state-of-the-art-engineering laboratories in Kent, Ohio; Shanghai, China; and St. Charles, Illinois, Bison is even more equipped to help customers accelerate time to production by expediting performance tests, agency qualifications and rapid prototyping, the company added.

"By combining the strengths of AMETEK DFS and Bison Gear and Engineering Corp., the new Bison business will meet the evolving needs of customers worldwide in various industries and applications, including agriculture, combustion, construction, energy, floorcare, food and beverage, industrial machinery, medical, motion control and more,” said Matt Fuss, Division Vice President and Business Unit Manager at Bison. "Together, our dedication to delivering the highest quality motors, blowers and pumps combined with our customization, integration and manufacturing expertise gives our customers the winning edge in today’s highly competitive, global marketplace.”
