S.B. International (SBI), the Nashville, Tennessee-based valvetrain component manufacturer, has acquired Precision Engine Parts (PEP), a Las Vegas, Nevada, provider of valvetrain components.

PEP's integration into SBI's portfolio will strengthen product offerings and accelerate research and development efforts, the company said in a statement announcing the acquisition.

"Bringing PEP into the SBI family is a transformative step that will benefit both our clients and our industry," said Ryan Hamilton, President/CEO of SBI. "PEP has long been a pioneer in valvetrain innovation, and together, we're positioned to expand our impact and deliver a greater value to our customers worldwide."

PEP's operations will continue under SBI with plans to integrate their best processes, the company said. The acquisition allows SBI to offer an expanded line of valvetrain components, including bronze valve guides to be manufactured at SBI's headquarters in Nashville.
