Charlotte, NC-based industrial cutting products manufacturer and distributor EDGE Industrial Technologies has acquired Harvest Blade and Supply, expanding its West Coast presence and blade sharpening capabilities.

The deal was announced Oct. 27 by EDGE’s private equity owner, Falfurrias Management Partners. Financial terms were not disclosed.

Based in Salinas, CA, Harvest supplies industrial blades and provides sharpening services for customers in food processing, packaging, printing and converting. The company sells original equipment manufacturer knives, replacement blades and related products, with nationwide delivery and pickup and delivery services in California.

Harvest also offers BladeSync, a program that manages customers’ blade inventories, replacement blade stocking agreements, sharpening schedules and pickup and delivery logistics.

The acquisition combines Harvest’s nationwide resharpening business with Edge’s existing sharpening capabilities in Red Lion, PA. EDGE said the combination expands the range of blades it can service nationwide and supports its growth in food processing and packaging.

“We’re excited to pair EDGE’s blade manufacturing expertise with Harvest Blade’s resharpening and service offering,” Falfurrias Partner Ken Walker said in the announcement.

Harvest President Dennis Donahue said joining EDGE will give his team access to additional product expertise and global resources to serve customers.

EDGE manufactures, distributes and resharpens machine knives, punches and production line components. Its brands include TGW, Pearl Technologies, Leverwood Knife Works and Carbonomics, with operations across North America, Europe and Asia. In addition to food processing and packaging, the company serves plastic converting, blown film and medical markets.
