YORK, PA — JLS Automation has acquired K2 Kinetics after over a decade of partnership. The company is local near JLS’ headquarters.
K2’s full line of palletizers, along with its TL case packer and carton loaders, will now be included in JLS’ offerings, allowing the company to expand its full-line solutions to include palletizing and offer its customers more flexible solutions. Both functions will be housed in JLS’ newly expanded production facility.
“To see our partnership with K2 grow into an acquisition has been humbling,” said Craig Souser, president and CEO of JLS. “Our close relationship with and proximity to them has made this move a good fit for all involved, including our customers.”
Through the acquisition, the team at K2 will become part of JLS. Kevin Keller will now serve as director of end-of-line solutions.
“After working with the team at JLS for the past several years, it’s clear that K2 and its product lines are in good hands,” Keller said. “We look forward to being part of this next phase of JLS’ growth.”
