Tooling component manufacturer Jergens Inc. has acquired Bock Workholding Inc.

Bock has its U.S. headquarters in Ford City, Pa., and sales partners in Europe, Asia, and Australia. It is a manufacturer and distributor of workholding equipment for vertical and horizontal machining centers and flexible manufacturing cells.

Bock offers a large selection of workholding devices, including twin production vises, locating systems, 5-axis vises, and more.

“Bock’s and Jergens’ combined product lines are a perfect fit,” Sean Stapulionis, general manager for Jergens’ Tooling and Components Division, said. “Adding the Bock people and products

offers the opportunity to broaden our offerings in vises and quick-change fixturing. Our customers will still have access to the Bock team and to the products they know,” he added.
