Grote Industries has acquired Star Headlight & Lantern Co, Inc. The acquisition will become part of the newly-created Star Safety Technologies by Grote, a holding company wholly owned by Grote Industries, Inc. Under this new ownership, Grote says Star Safety Technologies will continue to support the markets it serves while benefitting from the combined resources and expertise of the two companies to grow.

“When looking for great companies that can help us serve our customers and markets better, the opportunity with Star was a perfect fit. Both our companies have been built not only on strong family leadership and commitment to their customers but also on great people and team members that work together in an environment of trust, integrity, responsibility, and respect,” said Dominic Grote, president and chief executive officer, Grote Industries. “This addition to the Grote family of businesses demonstrates a commitment to embracing opportunities that will help us get closer to our customers and grow and scale our capability to bring safer, smarter products to the markets we serve.”
