Screen Machine Industries acquires Diamond Z

Screen Machine Industries LLC of Etna, Ohio, has announced it became the parent company of Diamond Z of Caldwell, Idaho, effective March 1. Screen Machine says this will create a strong partnership of two material processing professionals – Screen Machine in crushing and screening, and Diamond Z in chipping and grinding. Together, both companies will be able to service the growing need for mobile equipment across a number of industries.

“Screen Machine and Diamond Z both have a strong history of product quality, innovation and customer service. As we continued to get to know one another and discuss potential opportunities, it became clear this would be a great partnership," said Steve Peel, the former CEO and owner of Diamond Z, in a press release.

Screen Machine began in 1966 as a structural steel company and found its niche serving crushing and screening needs for the aggregates and coal industries in the Midwest. Now, its machines are in service around the world.

Diamond Z was founded with a focus on chipping and grinding and has found success as a result of its affiliation with Rule Steel, a structural steel manufacturing company also based in Caldwell. Its machines also are in service around the globe.

Both Screen Machine and Diamond Z will continue to operate as they have from their respective facilities in Etna and Caldwell. Screen Machine says it foresees opportunities to utilize its collective strength in several areas going forward.

“We have a great opportunity to join our shared vision of providing the most durable and reliable products in our industries with our unmatched focus on customer service,” says Shane Terblanche, the president and CEO of Screen Machine. “Add to that our shared company values and focus on people and culture, we are very excited to move forward together with Diamond Z and all of its employees, customers, suppliers and the community.”
