“I am pleased to announce the acquisition of both the Blaz-Man and Gear Products businesses,” said P&F chairman, president and CEO, Richard Horowitz.

“We believe consolidating the operations of these acquired businesses within Hy-Tech’s Quality Gear operations throughout the next twelve months should generate cost reductions and other efficiencies.”
