International. The purchase of Plews & Edelmann's Brass & Brake assets will complement the company's existing business.
FMSI Automotive Hardware has been a manufacturer of brake, fuel, transmission, air conditioning and coolant repair lines and accessories for over 30 years. With the addition of Edelmann Fittings and Brake Lines, the company highlights the industry's leadership in high-quality automotive problem-solving accessories and fluid transportation lines.
Customers in the United States, Canada, Mexico, South America, Central America, the Caribbean, Australia and New Zealand will be able to take advantage of two major offerings merged into a single source.
Founder and President, David Greenwood, stated, "The addition of Edelmann Brass & Brake, combined with the programs established by FMSI, continues our commitment to serving all distribution channels with a broad range of the highest quality products and troubleshooting offerings for the automotive aftermarket."
Plews & Edelmann CEO Dan Billie said, "The sale of the accessories business is a direct result of Plews' focus on bringing the total solution to the power steering category."
"Along with the recent sale of our non-application parts business to Highline Warren, this completes a three-year effort to diversify out of non-application parts categories," Billie said.
