Mako Advanced Materials Strengthens Position in Composite Materials Sector
Advanced composite materials innovator Mako Advanced Materials, Henderson, Nevada, has acquired PTM&W Industries, a California-based manufacturer of composite resin systems, tooling products, adhesives, and coatings. The acquisition strengthens Mako’s position in the composite materials sector by integrating PTM&W’s established product lines and technologies with Mako’s expanding production and innovation capabilities.
The acquisition enables Mako to broaden its portfolio of high-performance materials used in aerospace, defense, automotive, marine, sporting goods, and industrial applications. PTM&W will continue operations at its Santa Fe Springs, California, facility, while Mako will supplement its capabilities with advanced mixing and coating operations from Henderson. The combined expertise will provide multi-site production redundancy, enhance production efficiency, expand R&D initiatives, and increase technical support capabilities.
“PTM&W’s longstanding reputation for high-performance products and technologies complements our commitment to innovation, manufacturing excellence, and customer-focused solutions,” said Dr. Johnny Lincoln, president of Mako Advanced Materials. “We are fortunate to have found such an ideal cultural and technical fit with PTM&W. We’re excited to work alongside its dedicated team.”
As part of the transition, PTM&W’s president and founder, Charles Owen, will remain as a consultant, providing guidance during the integration process.
The acquisition reflects Mako’s continued investments in scalable production, research advancements and supply chain optimization to support key industries including high-rate production processes for unmanned defense platforms and urban air mobility, and higher temperature material and tooling solutions for lightweight thermal management.
