Kadant Inc. recently expanded its product lines with the acquisition of M-Clean Papertech AB, a Europe-based supplier of paper machine fabric and roll cleaning systems. The acquisition was completed in May 2011 and the company will be re-named Kadant M-Clean AB. Based in Husqvarna, Sweden, Kadant M-Clean AB manufactures the MultiJet™ modular cleaning system used for fabric and roll cleaning. The acquisition of the high-efficiency cleaning product line expands Kadant's water-management product line and will be sold and serviced by Kadant's existing global sales and service network.

"With more than 350 installations throughout Europe, China, and Asia-Pacific, the MultiJet product line adds increased depth to Kadant's water-management offerings to the paper industry and further strengthens our market position in Europe and China," said Jonathan W. Painter, president and chief executive officer of Kadant Inc. "The high-performance cleaning system has demonstrated success in helping papermakers extend fabric life and improve machine runnability and we are looking forward to completing the integration of the M-Clean business into our organization."
