TIPCO Technologies, a Platte River Equity portfolio company, acquired MTS Threaded Products and AZ Hose PRO, two founder-owned industrial products and services businesses. Founded in 1982, MTS is based in Corpus Christi, Texas, and supplies industrial, energy and oilfield customers with fasteners, petroleum-related hardware and custom threaded and machined components.

It also provides vendor-managed inventory services. Phoenix-based AZ Hose PRO offers round-the-clock mobile service for hydraulic hoses, cylinders and pumps.

The purchases bring TIPCO to ten add-on acquisitions since its December 2023 partnership with Platte River, adding capabilities in sealing products and on-site hydraulic repair.
