The Partner Companies, a global manufacturer, announced the acquisition of F&B MFG, LLC, a Phoenix-based specialty metal manufacturer. The acquisition strengthens TPC’s aerospace and defense manufacturing capabilities while expanding access to specialized fabrication processes, including hydroforming.
