B&D Fabricators acquires Leading Edge Attachments Inc.

B&D Fabricators, an Entegra Attachments company, has acquired Leading Edge Attachments Inc. (LEA), a Hubbardston, Massachusetts, supplier of highly unique and patented frost and rock ripping buckets and other heavy attachments. This strategic move positions Leading Edge Attachments as part of Edgar, Wisconsin-based B&D’s growing offering of standard and customized heavy attachments across a wide array of market applications.

LEA will operate under B&D Fabricators while maintaining its current product lines and names.

Founded in 2007, B&D Fabricators is a leading manufacturer of heavy equipment attachments serving industries such as construction, mining/quarry, industrial agriculture, land clearing and environmental remediation.

The company has built its reputation on designing and delivering high-quality construction equipment that enhances the versatility of excavators and backhoes, B&D says. Its couplers and attachments are developed through close collaboration with contractors to meet real-world demands. This hands-on development process, combined with decades of engineering and industry experience, enables LEA to produce some of the most durable and reliable patented equipment on the market.

Michael Flannery, CEO of Saint Charles, Illinois-based Entegra Attachments LLC, says, “The acquisition of Leading Edge Attachments by B&D Fabricators represents a strategic milestone in expanding Entegra’s heavy attachments industry growth platform. Leading Edge Attachments’ specialized product line and engineering expertise complement B&D Fabricators’ extensive design library, enabling us to serve as a true one-stop shop for the attachments industry.”

“This direction will enable further investment and support in the expansion of LEA’s product lines, says Lee Horton, prior owner of LEA. “Partnering with B&D provides the resources and strategic alignment needed to accelerate innovation, without compromising our commitment to quality and customer service.”

“I’m excited about the opportunities this partnership brings,” adds Todd Brinkman, president and founder of B&D Fabricators. “Leading Edge Attachments’ reputation for durability and performance aligns perfectly with our commitment to quality and customer service. Together, we will continue to innovate and strengthen relationships with our customers for years to come.”
