Paladin Attachments has acquired Kodiak Manufacturing, a manufacturer of agricultural implements including rotary cutters, soil and gravel movers, tillers and additional tractor implements. The acquisition supports Paladin’s continued product diversification objectives and improves its presence in the agricultural market sector.
The deal also provides Kodiak with a solid platform for continued growth through increased capacity and market support, which enhances the value of the brand to its customer base.
Kodiak was founded in 1996 and is based in Charleston, Tenn. Kodiak customers can continue ordering product through existing channels as they have in the past. Paladin said it will add value through process improvement, manufacturing diversity and market support services to enhance the customer experience for Kodiak products.
“The Kodiak acquisition fulfills critical growth strategies that are central to Paladin maintaining its leadership position in high-quality attachment provision,” said Mike Flannery, vice president and general manager of Paladin. “We highly respect the Kodiak brand, as well as the people and products that define this unique brand proposition. We also highly value the solid customer relationships Kodiak has built and maintained over many years and these relationships align very well with our channel strategies.”
