FMSI Automotive Hardware Acquires Edelmann Brass & Brake

FMSI Automotive Hardware has acquired the brass and brake assets of Plews and Edelmann, the company announced.

FMSI Automotive Hardware is a manufacturer of brake, fuel, transmission, AC and coolant repair lines and fittings, and will now add Edelmann Fittings and Brake Lines products to its lineup of offerings.

“The addition of Edelmann Brass & Brake, combined with FMSI established programs, continues our commitment to serve all channels of distribution with a comprehensive range of the highest quality products and problem-solving offerings to the automotive aftermarket,” said David Greenwood, FMSI founder and president.

“The sale of the fittings business is a direct result of Plews’ focus on providing the total solution to the power steering category,” said Dan Billie, CEO of Plews & Edelmann. “Along with the recent sale of our non-application parts business to Highline Warren, this completes a 3-year effort to diversify away from non-application parts categories.
