B&P Process Equipment and Systems LLC, and B&P Littleford Day LLC, two suppliers of machinery for plastics mixing and separation, have merged to form B&P Littleford, effective Jan. 1, 2017. The new entity will be headquartered in Saginaw, Mich., the location of B&P’s newly renovated technical center that offers equipment testing and R&D. The company’s other facilities are located in Fort Mitchell, Ky., and Houston, Texas.
B&P Littleford will produce systems for batch and continuous mixing that include plow mixers, double-arm mixers, extruders, co-kneaders and centrifuges, as well as related equipment for drying and reacting.
