Pewaukee, Wis.-based Waukesha Bearings acquired Inpro/Seal Co., located in Rock Island, Ill. Financial terms of the transaction were not disclosed. “After much consideration, I felt Waukesha Bearings was the best strategic fit for Inpro/Seal. As leaders in our respective markets, Waukesha and Inpro/Seal share similar value propositions of delivering premium technology and superior service to our customers,” said David Orlowski, Inpro/Seal founder.

The acquisition of Inpro/Seal adds adjacent product lines to Waukesha’s bearing solutions for oil and gas and power generation markets.
