MILFORD, PA -- Clarion Safety Systems, a provider of visual safety and compliance products and services, announced its acquisition of McLoone Metal Graphics, a recognized provider of custom-printed industrial nameplates, labels, and metal identification solutions.
This strategic growth investment continues Clarion Safety's mission to enhance its portfolio and expand its ability to deliver comprehensive safety and identification solutions to its clients.
"We're thrilled to welcome McLoone to the Clarion Safety family," says Ron Crawford, CEO of Clarion Safety Systems. "The McLoone team's decades of expertise in metal printing and industrial graphics perfectly complement Clarion Safety's commitment to safety, quality, and innovation. Together, we will provide even greater value to our customers by offering an expanded range of products and capabilities."
McLoone is a leading, full-service manufacturer of custom engineered, high-quality graphic solutions, including product identification, ID plates, nameplates, labels, and graphic overlays. Founded in 1954 and headquartered in La Crosse, Wisconsin, McLoone is widely respected for its high-quality, durable identification products and its ability to serve diverse industries, including industrial, medical, and consumer goods. The acquisition will leverage McLoone's expertise in custom metal and graphic solutions, enhancing Clarion Safety's offerings and extending its reach into new markets.
The combined organization will continue to operate under their respective brand names while immediately commencing the process of bringing their portfolio of offerings to customers in a unified manner. Both Clarion Safety and McLoone will continue to serve customers with the same level of excellence they have come to expect. By uniting two industry leaders, the acquisition underscores Clarion Safety's dedication to advancing safety, compliance, and communication across all sectors.
Clarion Safety has a longstanding, 30-year history of collaborating with customers to implement best practices in relation to a broad range of product safety standards to maximize safety and reduce risk. In recent years, it has expanded its product and service portfolio beyond labels, signs, and markings, offering comprehensive machinery safety and risk consulting services. In 2022, Clarion Safety acquired Machine Safety Specialists (MSS), a leading machine safety and compliance consulting practice, as a subsidiary, elevating its risk assessment and compliance consulting services. In 2023, Clarion Safety acquired Arrow Industrial Solutions (Arrow), a machine safeguarding integrator practice, as a division, expanding its capabilities even further, and creating a turnkey solutions path for clients in need of physical safeguarding solutions following assessment of risks. The acquisition of McLoone is effective immediately, and integration efforts are underway. Clients and partners of Clarion Safety and McLoone can expect a seamless transition with enhanced product offerings, improved capabilities, and an unwavering commitment to quality and customer service.
"This partnership is a natural fit," said Deidre Kruser, President of McLoone.
