3M acquires Aearo
3M has completed its acquisition of Aearo Technologies Inc, a manufacturer of personal protection and energy absorbing products. The company has approximately 150 staff at its European Head Office in Poynton, Cheshire.
3M said the acquisition would significantly expand its occupational health and environmental safety platform by adding hearing protection as well as eyewear and fall protection product lines to its existing line of respiratory products.
It will enable 3M to provide industrial, military and construction customers as well as consumers with a more complete personal protection product offering, the company said.
Aearo’s brand names include E-A-R, Peltor, and SafeWaze.
