FutureWeld and Frontier Techni-Kote Industries Announce Merger


PHOENIX, Jan. 15, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- FutureWeld Co., Inc. ("FutureWeld") and Frontier Techni-Kote Industries, LLC ("FTK") today announced that the companies have agreed to merge and form Frontier Group, Inc. ("Frontier Group" or the "Company").

The merger represents the combination of two leading companies in the southwestern U.S. aerospace metal finishing industry. Founded in 1979 and based in Phoenix, Arizona, FutureWeld has been one of the few independent aerospace metal finishing companies to be Nadcap accredited to offer chemical processing, non-destructive testing and welding services. Founded in 1994 and based in Chino Valley, Arizona, FTK has had a long-standing reputation for providing best-in-class chemical processing services to aerospace and other customers throughout Arizona and the southwestern U.S.

Andrew Furrer, President of Frontier Group, commented, "The combination of FutureWeld and FTK to form Frontier Group marks the coming together of two market leaders who together have more than 60 years of experience serving the aerospace and other industries. We're thrilled to offer our joint customers more capabilities, faster delivery and a higher level of expertise as a result of the merger. We will continue to make investments in our own business to ensure that we continue providing the highest levels of service in the industry."

Furrer continued, "No other metal finishing supplier in Arizona can match Frontier Group's breadth of comprehensive services, including anodize, chem film, paint, passivation, phosphate, non-destructive testing, welding and more. As one of the few independent metal finishing providers in Arizona, our only focus is to provide the best service to our customers. We look forward to adding additional services and expertise to support our current and future customers."

Key highlights of the combination include:

Frontier Group's management will own a significant portion of the Company alongside Montage Partners, a private equity firm based in Scottsdale, Arizona, focused on investments in the western U.S.
