Palmer Johnson Power Systems announces the acquisition of Mill Log Equipment Co., Inc. and Mill Log Wilson Equipment Ltd. from Twin Disc Inc. The acquisition, which will close on March 4, encompasses all Mill Log assets, territory rights and inventory.
“The acquisition of Mill Log positions Palmer Johnson as a dominant off-highway player in the western United States and Canada, and a powerhouse in both the marine and oil & gas markets in North America,” says Craig Parsons, President of Palmer Johnson. The addition of Mill Log service centers in Kent, WA, and Vancouver, British Columbia, solidifies Palmer Johnson’s support of the West Coast marine market.
