Highline Aftermarket has entered into an agreement to acquire the assets of Camco Mfg.’s liquids division. Liquids is a nationwide manufacturer of windshield wash, RV antifreeze, and diesel exhaust fluid, including private label products, with plants in Leominster, Mass., Reidsville, N.C., Elkhart, Ind., and Albany, Ore.
Financial terms of the purchase were not disclosed.
Longstanding liquids employees are joining the Highline team. These employees and facilities will join Highline’s seven existing blending and filling plants to form a network for producing and distributing selected liquids and chemicals for the automotive, RV, and marine markets.
“Over 50 years, the Caine family has built a fantastic liquids business at Camco, with a reputation for high-quality products and exceptional customer service,” said Darcy Curran, CEO of Highline Aftermarket. “We are excited to combine the strengths of the liquids business with Highline’s seven plants and 14 distribution centers to better serve customers nationwide. This combination is a perfect strategic fit and enables Highline’s growth ambitions. I welcome liquids employees and customers to Highline.”
“RV antifreeze was the first product ever produced by Camco, back in 1966,” said Keith Cook, senior VP of sales for Camco. “So, it has been a key part of who we are for a very long time. Highline has the scale, product mix, and reach to make this business segment a perfect fit for their model. This transaction will allow Camco to focus exclusively on the RV and hardware segments that drive our business. It is a win-win for Camco, Highline, and all our customers.”
