Strategic acquisitions UEA’s recent acquisition of Fabricast, Inc. signals expansion into broader motion components and potential cross-sell of slip rings, rotary unions, and hydraulic swivels to Fabricast’s customer base.

Expansion footprint Significant facility expansions in Ames, Iowa and Boone County, NC indicate capacity growth and proximity to new industrial clusters, creating opportunities to upsell large-scale reels, swivels, and related motion products to regional manufacturers.

Public incentives HQJ program support from the Iowa Economic Development Authority with forgivable loans and tax benefits improves total cost of ownership for potential customers and can be highlighted in ROI discussions with prospects.

Strategic partnerships Recent partnership with SlewPro positions UEA in the slewing bearing ecosystem, enabling joint solutions for complex motion applications and access to new target clients in heavy machinery and robotics sectors.

Industry focus To emphasize sector-specific capabilities in wind, construction, utility, and industrial markets, tailor outreach to manufacturers in these segments that require robust slip rings, reels, and hydraulic swivels, leveraging UEA’s ISO 9001 quality certification as a differentiator.
