USA: Ellicott Dredge Enterprises has acquired selected assets of the Rohr Corporation, including its current backlog and all associated intellectual property, as well as the shares of Rohr Bagger, based in Mannheim, Germany.
Through a newly formed subsidiary, Rohr International Dredge Co., Rohr will operate as an independent, wholly-owned subsidiary of Ellicott. The Rohr companies are manufacturers of automated floating clamshell and bucket ladder dredge systems for the sand gravel and aggregate industries, especially for hard digging and deep digging applications.
"United under one corporate umbrella, Ellicott will continue to offer hydraulic cutterhead dredges while Rohr can provide clamshell and bucket ladder dredging systems," commentes Ellicott's Vice President of Sales, Paul Quinn. "This will allow us to present customers with the best equipment choice without any design limitations from the supplier."
