We're thrilled to be adding a new business line, exceptionally talented people and a tremendous customer base through this new partnership with iMech. iMech's custom bearings are specifically designed and manufactured for the harsh environments in which they are used, resulting in a better bearing with a longer life," he said.

H-D Advanced was formed by private equity firms The Riverside Company, Hicks Equity Partners, and Weinberg Capital Group. It specializes in acquiring companies that manufacture equipment for the precision-engineering sector.
