Cimline, Inc., Plymouth, MN has announced the acquisition of Duraco Industries, Inc., Jackson, MS, the manufacturer of the Dura Patcher®, the top selling injection type road repairing machine. This product line will join Cimline’s industry leading Magma Series melter/applicators, EQUIPT sealcoating systems and other products used for pavement restoration and repair. The purchase will elevate the combined companies to the number one position in worldwide distribution and service.

 “The Dura Patcher is a natural fit with our existing product line and enjoys the same industry leading technology as our Cimline products, “according to Mark Hefty, president of Plymouth Industries, manufacturers of the Cimline and Garlock brands. Garlock is a long time supplier of roofing equipment. Echoing Hefty’s enthusiasm, continuing Duraco President and founder Bob Gilchrist, added, “This is a great opportunity for the Dura Patcher® line to move forward with a company that embodies the same values of quality, technical superiority and world class service that built Duraco.” Gilchrist, General Manager David Sitton and Sales Manager Nat Alford join Cimline Vice-President Brad Dunn and Sales Manager Steve Johnson in the management of the combined product lines.

Dura Patcher® is a proven method of road repair used by owners worldwide. It uses emulsified asphalts with aggregate to make a water repellant, permanent patch. The Dura Patcher® dispenses patch material through its operator friendly boom system repairing potholes, alligator cracks, shoulders, washouts, and parking lots. The unit is available as a truck-mounted, trailer-mounted or the new one-man, cab operated Dura Maxx® model. The Strategic Highway Research Program (SHRP) proved the spray-injection method has the longest lasting patches of all methods researched.

Cimline’s Magma Series enjoys industry-leading technology, including external pump, oil-jacketed kettle and patented AftrBurner™ fume control. Other products include the Matrix 1500 melter/applicator, Heat Wave gravity feed melters and a complete line of routers and crack saws.
