Mission Critical Electronics (MCE) announced it has acquired Purkeys Fleet Electric. Financial details of the transaction were not disclosed.
“We are delighted to have Purkeys join MCE. Purkeys’ products are high quality, technologically advanced and valued by its customers. Purkeys has a strong reputation for being a reliable, trusted partner of truck fleet operators, solving electrical system problems and realizing new power application opportunities,” says Kevin Moschetti, MCE CEO.
“Purkeys’ portfolio of power products, end markets and distribution partners are highly complementary to MCE and will bring a nice mix of aftermarket sales to our Vehicle Power business. The synergies that exist between our companies will provide more value for end-users, OEMs and distribution partners. I am also encouraged by the new growth platforms available as we help Purkeys’ customers realize opportunities offered by the vehicle electrification trend. Most importantly, I am excited about the talent level of Purkeys’ people and their unique dedication to customer satisfaction,” Moschetti says.
MCE designs, manufactures and distributes electronic power products that fit a variety of applications across all non-automotive vehicle types (including RVs, heavy-duty trucks, work trucks, emergency vehicles and buses), marine, wireless networks, industrial power, mobile communications and mobile computing.
“The Purkeys brand is a great fit with our Xantrex and Kussmaul brands in the vehicle space. Purkeys’ relationship with truck fleets, coupled with the broader product portfolio available through Kussmaul and Xantrex, will allow us to bring more solutions and more value to Purkeys’ customer base. Our combined sales and technical support teams will enable us to reach the market more effectively and improve our already great customer service,” says Dale Tompkins, president, MCE Vehicle Power business.
Purkeys is a developer, manufacturing and distributor of electric power solutions to truck fleets, liftgate manufacturers, trailer manufacturers, truck dealers and truck OEMs. Purkeys’ primary product range includes liftgate charging systems, inverters, harnesses, solar power solutions and various ancillary products.
“We at Purkeys are thrilled with the opportunity afforded us by joining forces with MCE,” says Purkeys CEO Justin Purkey “Our focus has always been on providing our customers and industry partners with the best service possible to help them keep their trucks on the road. MCE has the scale and resources to help us grow faster so that we can put even more effort into helping our customers. Our industry partners, our customers and our employees will all benefit from this partnership.”
