"We have been so impressed with the product and staff that we decided to buy the company," Melling said. "We plan to bring more innovation and ramp up inventory of our Melling valve spring line with the acquisition."

Performance Springs will be renamed to Melling Performance Springs Limited. All management and sales staff will remain with the company.

"The acquisition by Melling is a once in a lifetime opportunity," Melling Performance Springs General Manager Amit Devanga said. "We are creating a global spring company with engineering performance at its core."

Melling Engine Parts is a fourth-generation family business based in Jackson, Michigan, and supplies both OE replacement and performance aftermarket sectors.
