Iowa Spring Strengthens National Manufacturing Network
Iowa Springย has expanded its U.S. operations after acquiringย Northeast Springย of Reading, Pennsylvania. The familyโowned company has served customers for over 25 years, producingย customโmade springsย known for their precision and reliability.
A Strategic Move for Growth
The deal closed onย September 15, marking another key milestone in Iowa Springโs growth. The acquisition helps the company build its presence as a top supplier ofย precisionโmade springsย for theย overhead door, construction, agriculture,ย andย recreational equipmentย industries.
โWeโre proud to continue Northeast Springโs legacy,โ saidย Tim Bianco, President and CEO of Iowa Spring. โTheir reputation for quality and service perfectly matches our values and longโterm vision.โ
Operations Continue Under the Same Team
Northeast Spring will keep its name and leadership team in place. Founderย John OโLearyย will remain with the company for at least three years to support a smooth transition.
The business operates from two locations: itsย headquarters in Reading, Pennsylvania, and itsย production site in Villa Rica, Georgia. It mainly serves theย overhead door industry, manufacturing springs fromย .080 to .625โinch wire diameters. Materials includeย 302/304 stainless steel, music wire, chrome silicon, oilโtempered, andย hardโdrawn wire.
Shared Vision and Company Values
โWith so many spring companies being absorbed by large investment firms, I wanted a buyer who believes in family values,โ saidย OโLeary. โIowa Spring fits that model perfectly. They value people and quality just as we always have.โ
Expanding the Iowa Spring Family
Tim Biancoย will now oversee Northeast Springโs operations along with Iowa Springโs other facilities. Those include theย original Iowa Spring location, itsย 55,000โsquareโfoot expansion facility, and its sister company,ย Southern Atlantic Spring, based in Granite Quarry, North Carolina.
Together, these facilities increase the companyโs production capacity, expand its technical reach, and strengthen itsย customerโfocused service approach. With shared goals and complementary expertise, the combined team is wellโpositioned for continued success.
