Press Release: Gerard Daniel Worldwide Acquires Langley Wire Cloth

Gerard Daniel Worldwide, a Leading Manufacturer and Distributor of Industrial Wire Mesh and Products Manufactured From Wire or Wire Cloth Announces That It Has Acquired Tennessee-Based Langley Wire Cloth Products, Inc.

HANOVER, PA–(Marketwired – May 17, 2016) – Gerard Daniel Worldwide (GDW) (www.gerarddaniel.com), a global manufacturer and importer of wire cloth sold to the filtration, aerospace, automotive, and electronics industries, is pleased to announce that it has acquired Langley Wire Cloth Products, Inc. Langley has been in business for over 30 years manufacturing wire cloth components and strainers made primarily from wire cloth and perforated metal. The purchase of Langley gives Gerard Daniel Worldwide, already a leading force in the wire cloth industry, an even larger range of corporate capabilities and screening products.

Historically, Langley operated out of two locations, one in Collierville, Tennessee and one 100 miles away in Adamsville. To improve Langley’s efficiency and internal communications, GDW has now consolidated all of Langley’s operations in Adamsville. General Manager Jason Groft oversees the 55 employees now on staff in Adamsville.

According to Gary Shultis, GDW’s Chairman & CEO, Gerard Daniel’s acquisition of Langley was a “natural fit” that will benefit both organizations. “GDW has been a major wire cloth supplier to Langley since Langley’s founding. When Harold and Nita Langley, Langley’s founders, were looking for an exit strategy that would allow their many loyal employees to continue working with another family-oriented company, they believed selling their business to GDW was the ideal solution. Both companies have shared customers in O.E.M. filtration, automotive, aerospace and consumer products. We look forward to learning more about the Langley customer base and how we can work closely with them to increase the value that the combined Langley/Gerard Daniel capabilities can bring,” explains Shultis.
