Bulldog Holdings acquires Excel Manufacturing

Bulldog Holdings LLC has announced that it has acquired substantially all of the assets of Excel Manufacturing, St. Charles, Minnesota. The company will continue operations as Excel Manufacturing, operating from its factory in St. Charles.

Clint Streit, president and CEO of Bulldog Holdings, now serves as president of Excel Manufacturing.

“We’re excited about this acquisition,” Streit says. “Excel is a company with a solid product portfolio and a history of innovation. The former owners made significant investments in production equipment, design and processes to establish a foundation for future growth.” 

He continues, “We were looking to acquire an OEM (original equipment manufacturer) in an industry with positive long-term trends. The recycling industry and Excel fit that bill.”

Streit comments that Excel “has experienced issues in customer service and distribution under the previous management.” He adds, “We’ve focused on immediately correcting those issues.”

While the objective is to grow Excel in the long term and to expand its product line, Streit says, “We’ll remain concentrated on building single and two-ram balers with lowest total cost of ownership and highest lifetime return on investment.”

He adds, “We’re also highly focused on delivering superior engineering and customer support and service.”

Excel offers single- and two-ram balers as well as in-feed conveyors. More information is available at www.excelmfg.com.
