As a part of its goal to broaden its range of tree care and industrial equipment, Winn, Michigan-based Morbark acquired Rayco Manufacturing.
Rayco, headquartered in Wooster, Ohio, designs and produces a line of environmental equipment, including stump cutters, crawler trucks, forestry mulchers, multi-tool carriers and attachments, as well as brush chippers and the new AT71 aerial trimmer.
According to the companies, Rayco founder John Bowling will continue his work with the Rayco team to develop new products and improve the company’s existing product lines.
“We are thrilled to welcome Rayco to the Morbark portfolio of companies,” says Dave Herr, CEO of Morbark. “Rayco is a company that our senior management team has admired for a long time. We value the long-standing success of Rayco and are committed to providing the Bowling family and their dedicated employees the resources they need to continue the success they have built.”
Morbark will operate Rayco as a new division maintaining its brand identity.
