Shiloh Industries Inc., a supplier of lightweighting solutions to the auto industry, acquired Radar Industries Inc. Angle Advisors acted as the exclusive investment banking advisor to Radar in completing this transaction.
Based in Warren, Mich., Radar is a leading provider of stamped interior, chassis and powertrain components and welded assemblies for the automotive industry. Radar operates three stamping plants, including two in Warren, Mich., and one in Celaya, Mexico, along with a sales and technical center also in Warren.

The company is recognized as a leader in welding, including mig, tig, laser, projection and resistance. In total, Radar is comprised of approximately 325 employees.
Dave Zmyslowski, President of Radar Industries said, "Radar Industries has been a leader in large tonnage metal forming and assembly, tool design and engineering services. My family and I are proud to have been part of growing the business started by my father nearly 60 years ago. We would like to thank the team at Angle Advisors for their experience and hard work in finding us the ideal steward for Radar and strategic partner for the transaction. We couldn't have navigated a highly confidential sale process without their help and are looking forward to being part of the future success of Shiloh Industries."
"Radar Industries is a perfect addition to Shiloh's strategic lightweighting portfolio," said Ramzi Hermiz, President and CEO, Shiloh Industries. "To broaden our best-in-class portfolio even further, we actively seek solutions that address industry pinch points, such as large tonnage stamping capacity and tool & die capability. This acquisition is another way for us to better service our growing global customer base, and adds to our strong technology position, customer diversification and geographic needs by complementing our existing stamping, laser welding, aluminum and magnesium die casting footprint," he added.
