Company Overview:

Barbron is the leading manufacturer of flame arrestors for the inboard marine industry and manufactures filtration equipment for the heavy-duty off-road equipment market.

Located in Detroit, Barbron has expertise in metal fabrication and has engineering skills in metal fabrication and plant setup for efficient production for short and longer run fabrication, both in a job shop environment and as a proprietary producer.

Barbron operates in the following SIC and NAICS Codes:

Acquisition thinking:

•  A product line involving fabricated metal that fits the basic capabilities and could be moved to the Detroit area.

•  A smaller company that would benefit from Barbron management skills and/or be able to move into the current Barbron manufacturing facility.
