On May 4, Re:Build Manufacturing (Framingham, Mass., U.S.) announced the acquisition of Cutting Dynamics Inc. (CDI, Avon, Ohio, U.S.), which the company says will significantly expand Re:Build’s product and service offering as part of the Re:Build Advanced Materials Group. This follows the acquisitions of composites fabricator Composite Resources (Rock Hill, S.C., U.S.) in March 2021 and Oribi Manufacturing (Commerce City, Colo., U.S.) in late 2020.
CDI is an AS9100-certified manufacturing business that brings more than 35 years of experience in design, engineering and production of metallic and thermoplastic composite structures and assemblies, with a strong emphasis on the aerospace, defense and industrial markets. CDI’s capabilities are reportedly a strong complement to the other Re:Build Advanced Materials Group product and service offerings, which already include Oribi’s high-rate thermoplastic composite components and advanced thermoset structures and assemblies from Composite Resources. According to Re:Build Manufacturing, the convergence of these brands brings a unique mix of product and service offerings in fabricated structures together with a highly customer-centric culture and organization.
