CHICAGO—Burloak Tool & Die Ltd. has changed its name to MAINWAY Metalworks Inc., the company announced at FABTECH 2023 in September. The name change and rebranding accompanies Mainway’s launch of a new website at www.mainway.com, the company said in a release.
Burloak Tool was acquired by Summit Ridge Capital in February 2021. In December 2022, Burloak acquired Armactool, before acquiring CadTek early in 2023. All three brands are now harmonized under the MAINWAY marque, the company said.
“We’re excited to bring this new brand to life, with decades of pre-existing technical underpinnings,” said Sean Brown, president and CEO of Mainway, in a statement. “Burloak, Armactool, and CadTek are all strong brands in their own right, in different parts of North America. Built on this platform, MAINWAY instantly becomes a trusted national brand to turn to for North American built tooling and stamping for the appliance, automotive, heavy duty, military, and other demanding industries.”
The name is a legal name change only. There has been no restructuring or change in ownership. Mainway remains backed by Summit Ridge Capital, and ownership of the Burloak Tool, CadTek, and Armactool brands remains with Mainway. All old email addresses still work, and will slowly transition to @mainway.com, the company said.
