Handy & Harman Precious Metals Group unites its brands

The Handy & Harman Precious Metals Group, a family of companies that supply brazing and soldering materials and technical services to OEMs and aftermarket distributors, has announced plans to unify all of its brazing companies under a single brand name—LucasMilhaupt—beginning in January 2009.

In addition to LucasMilhaupt of Milwaukee and Handy and Harman Canada of Toronto, the group now includes Protechno S.A., Riberac France, and Omni Technology, Epping, N.H., both manufacturers of brazing materials, including flux-cored and coated aluminum products. Most recently the group opened a new brazing alloy fabrication facility in Suzhou, China.
