DeSHAZO, Bessemer, Alabama, recently announced the strategic acquisition of Integrated Machinery Solutions (IMS), Azle, Texas. DeSHAZO is a part of the manufacturing of industrial equipment for materials handling and automation industries in the US. IMS was established in July 2009, as an engineering consulting firm and custom machinery builder focused on the materials handling industry. IMS will continue to operate under its current management team. It will be a separate business unit of DeSHAZO and will maintain its existing facilities.
IMS has experience in the design and manufacturing of wire rope hoists for overhead material handling, end trucks for bridge cranes, gearboxes, load-blocks and blow-the-hook devices, as well as custom equipment design. In addition to IMS’ manufacturing capabilities, having IMS as a business unit also will enable DeSHAZO to respond more rapidly to service requests, more effectively route parts requests and gain efficiencies in the repair cycle.
