Colortronic North America merges with AEC

Blending and feeding equipment maker Colortronic North America has been absorbed by the AEC brand of auxiliary equipment.

“Colortronic North America has a strong market presence in blending and feeding equipment, but is not well known in the remainder of the auxiliary equipment product lines,” Schaumburg, Ill.-based AEC said in a statement. “This move will strengthen the AEC blending and feeding product offering, and eliminate confusion between the two brands in the marketplace.”

AEC carries a full line of feeding and blending products for the plastics and other markets; and in addition, the company designs and produces a full line of auxiliary equipment including material handling, drying, process cooling, temperature control, and size reduction.

AEC is represented in Canada by Auxiplast Inc. (Quebec) and Equiplas (Toronto).
