ProtoTitan Acquires Leonard Automatics

ProtoTitan, a North Carolina-based provider of engineering and manufacturing solutions, recently announced the acquisition of Leonard Automatics, Denver, NC, according to a news release.

The acquisition brings together two industry players with complementary strengths and expertise. By merging ProtoTitan’s engineering and manufacturing solutions with Leonard Automatics’ in-house metal fabrication and electrical-engineering capabilities, ProtoTitan is creating a partnership that will enhance operations and deliver unparalleled benefits to both companies and their customers.

As part of the acquisition, Jeff Frushtick will step down from his role as Leonard Automatics’ CEO and refocus his efforts on sales and customer support. ProtoTitan brings a wealth of operations management and strategy as co-founders Chris Clark and Dave Rochau will take over the daily operations of Leonard Automatics and its subsidiaries Leonard Fabrication & Design, LFD Off Road and LFD Gates.

“It is time to turn the helm over to the next generation, with more understanding of the technology that can carry us forward,” Frushtick said. “ProtoTitan brings a variety of skill sets and markets that complement and expand the opportunities for Leonard manufacturing. I am excited to be part of the continuing evolution of Leonard Automatics.”
