Easterseals Crossroads has added the pressure switch product line of Illinois-based A.J. Antunes & Co. The process to locate production to the organization’s plant on the east side of Indianapolis is underway and expected to be complete by August 1.
Antunes Control products are used for commercial boilers and HVAC technology. Chief Executive Officer Patrick Sandy says the acquisition fits with Easterseals Crossroads’ strategic plans, which includes growing employment, bringing more independence to the organization’s Crossroads Industrial Services division and creating a positive impact on the community.
General Manager of Operations Greg Roberts says "the exciting difference about this acquisition from past business is we are no longer solely relying on other companies to provide work for our plant. By owning this line of switches, we can now create a better future for our employees with a product of our own that provides repeatable and steady employment."
Easterseals Crossroads was started 80 years ago.
