Lincoln Structural Acquires Heartland Water Jet Cutting
Lincoln Structural Solutions acquired Heartland Water Jet Cutting & Manufacturing to expand its nuclear fastener manufacturing capabilities.
Omaha, NB-based Lincoln Structural, a part of Owen Industries, manufactures fasteners for the nuclear and construction markets.
Heartland Waterjet, also a Omaha company, has been in manufacturing engineering for machining and fabrication, machine design, industrial controls and factory automation for more than 20 years.
Lincoln vice president Tyler Owen explained the acquisition expands its potential in nuclear industry, which has specific standards for materials.
“We have a lot of customers who do nuclear fabrication that have major restrictions on what comes into contact with stainless,” Owen told reporter Erin Golden of the Omaha World-Herald. “They can’t use just anybody to sell smaller pieces of stainless.”
Heartland’s equipment fills “a lot of gaps that Owen Industries didn’t have.”
Lincoln Structural has 14 employees.
Heartland Waterjet was owned by John Price and is located at 15225 Industrial Rd., Omaha, NE 68144 Tel: 402 933-3644 Fax 402 933-3608 Web: heartlandwaterjet.com
Owen Industries also runs Paxton & Vierline Steel. Founded in 1992, Lincoln Structural manufactured structural fasteners for commercial and bridge fabricators. In 2007, Lincoln expanded to become a nuclear compliant company. Lincoln Structural is located at 11005 E. Circle, Omaha, NE 68137.
