CPS Products Inc., a Harbour Group company, has acquired STAR EnviroTech, as announced by Jeff Fox, Harbour Group’s chairman and CEO. Terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
Based in Huntington Beach, California, STAR EnviroTech Inc. manufactures diagnostic smoke machines used by automotive service technicians to identify a wide range of automotive system leaks. The company’s products are trusted by more than 20 leading automotive OEMs, leading service tools brands and independent repair technicians, according to the company.
Fox said, “CPS and STAR are a natural combination. The product suites, distribution and sales channels are highly complementary. We look forward to utilizing the Harbour Group’s operational resources to continue building the company in Europe, Australia and around the world.”
“This acquisition strengthens our company’s position as the global leader in the professional technician tools market,” said Paul Baldetti, president and CEO of CPS. “While CPS has a similar product under its UView brand, the acquisition of STAR solidifies our position as the global leader in automotive leak detection.”
