Cimline, Inc. headquartered in Plymouth, MN announces the acquisition of EQUIPT Manufacturing, Inc, Waconia, MN. a leading builder of products for the sealcoating industry. Cimline is a leading manufacturer of pavement maintenance products used by government and private contractors. The Magma Series melter/applicator used for cracksealing is the flagship brand for the company.

“Applying new technology to established methods is a trademark of Cimline,” explained Mark Hefty, Cimline president, “And we were attracted to EQUIPT because they have applied industry-leading designs to their products.” A unique innovation of the EQUIPT machine is the patented high-density polyethylene tank system. This durable tank system eliminates rust, weld failure and cleaning issues associated with the steel tanks found on most other models.

EQUIPT founder and continuing president Craig Erickson said, “Our product stands out in the industry as a premium machine that is a good investment.” Proof of the market’s acceptance of the EQUIPT design are multiple owners in all 50 states, Mexico and Canada. New models with additional industry-leading improvements are expected in 2007.
