Tektite Industries, Inc. Acquires Assets of C&M Mold and Tool to Expand Injection Mold Capabilities

Acquisition brings injection mold tooling in-house to help the manufacturer better serve customers
Tektite Industries, Inc., a leading manufacturer of lighting products, knives, and other accessories, has acquired the assets of C&M Mold and Tool Co., a PA-based manufacturer of premium quality production tooling for plastic injection molding. The acquisition was effective on Sept. 1, 2022.
Tektite Industries has been serving the outdoor, industrial, public safety, and military markets for over three decades. The acquisition gives Tektite the increased in-house capabilities to build its own tooling for injection mold and dies—a function that Tektite had predominantly outsourced to C&M in the past.
“By expanding our in-house tooling capabilities, we are poised to serve customers faster, better and more cost-effectively in support of our company mission,” said Scott Mele, owner, Tektite. “We are also proud to announce that this acquisition allows us to further our commitment to keeping jobs in America in compliance with the Buy American Act.”
The acquisition comes as the NJ-based manufacturer celebrates 32 years in business. Led by the company’s founder, Scott Mele, Tektite is widely known for providing rugged LED flashlights, LED replacement bulbs, dive lights, strobes, marker lights, tactical lights, infrared strobes, knives, and accessories that are used by scuba divers, mountaineers, police officers, firefighters, military and more.
All employees and equipment were consolidated and moved into Tektite’s Trenton, NJ facility. No jobs were lost as a result of the acquisition.
