Rotary Acquires Desert Extrusion
Rotary Corp. announced the acquisition of Desert Extrusion, a leading manufacturer of trimmer line. The privately held company is based in Phoenix, Ariz. and serves customers throughout the U.S. and over 40 countries.
Desert Extrusion, founded in 1990 by Robert “Bob” Phillips, produces a wide variety of nylon monofilament trimmer line. It utilizes advanced design and extrusion technology, rigid quality control and select raw materials.
According to President and CEO Ed Nelson, the Rotary Corp. acquisition of Desert Extrusion is consistent with the company’s strategy to expand and deepen its roots in the industry. In addition, the merger will significantly enhance Rotary’s manufacturing and distribution capabilities.
“Desert Extrusion products are manufactured in the U.S. with all raw materials supplied by U.S. companies. That’s important to us,” Nelson says. Nelson also noted that approximately three out of every four parts shipped by Rotary in 2016 are made in the U.S.
