MFE Manufacturing has now been acquired by Superior Industries. The company, which is headquartered in Miramichi, New Brunswick, Canada, designs and builds portable plants for construction, aggregates and material handling industries. It is well known for engineering and fabricating portable processing plants, including jaw and cone crushing systems, screen plants and belt feeders. The company also designs and builds stationary structures for bulk material handling applications. MFE operates from a 25 000 ft2 plant at the mouth of the Miramichi River in New Brunswick.

According to Superior, the acquisition allows the manufacturer to boost its existing offering of portable plant designs. In addition, MFE’s location in the northeast adds another, strategically located factory to Superior’s North American portfolio, which includes existing plants in the Northwest, Southwest, Southeast and Midwest.

The two companies share similar strategies of focusing and incorporating the customer’s voice into product designs, including highly mobile equipment designed for fast setup.
