Griffin Gear Acquires Birmingham Gear and Machine
Griffin Gear, a portfolio company of Mangrove Equity Partners, announced the acquisition of Birmingham Gear and Machine. This strategic partnership strengthens Griffin Gear's market position by integrating a business that has highly complementary service offerings, customer base, and geographical reach.
It was founded in 1950 by Oscar Noles as Noles Machine and Welding, Birmingham Gear and Machine Co. The company evolved under the leadership of Noles’ son, Royce, and eventually his grandsons Ock, Len, and Royce Chambers, who transitioned the business into a specialized gear and machine shop in 1989. In 2000, to support its continued growth, the company relocated to its current facility in Dora, Alabama.
Griffin Gear is proud to carry forward this multi-generational legacy. By leveraging the synergies between the two organizations, Griffin Gear aims to drive sustainable growth, operational efficiency and a continued commitment to exceptional customer service.
