Acme Manufacturing Company acquires PoliPower Marathon 12 compound application product line!
Acme Manufacturing Company, a provider of automated material removal and robotic finishing systems based in Auburn Hills, Michigan, has acquired the Marathon 12 liquid compound application product line from PoliPower. The acquisition strengthens Acme’s portfolio of finishing technologies and supports its long-term focus on delivering fully integrated automated finishing solutions.
The Marathon 12 system is a high-pressure liquid compound application technology used in polishing and buffing operations. It is designed to deliver consistent compound application during automated finishing processes, helping manufacturers achieve improved surface finishes while maintaining efficient production performance.
By integrating the PoliPower product line into its offerings, Acme Manufacturing aims to enhance its ability to provide complete robotic finishing systems that combine multiple process elements into a single solution. These integrated systems typically include robotic system integration, tooling, compound application technology and process optimization services.
The relationship between Acme Manufacturing and PoliPower technology is not new. PoliPower’s compound application equipment has been used in Acme’s robotic buffing systems since 2008. With the formal acquisition of the product line, Acme will now manage the technology directly and streamline its offering to focus primarily on the Marathon 12 high-pressure liquid compound gun.
This approach will allow the company to continue supporting existing PoliPower customers while expanding the use of the technology within new automated finishing systems. Current users of PoliPower products will receive ongoing service and technical support through Acme’s engineering and service teams.
Automated finishing systems are increasingly important in manufacturing sectors that require consistent surface quality and efficient production processes. Industries such as automotive, aerospace, consumer products and industrial equipment rely on advanced finishing solutions to ensure parts meet strict appearance and performance standards.
Acme Manufacturing specializes in robotic material removal and finishing systems designed to automate tasks such as polishing, grinding and buffing. These systems help manufacturers improve repeatability, reduce manual labor and achieve consistent surface finishes across high-volume production environments.
With the acquisition of the PoliPower Marathon 12 product line, Acme Manufacturing further expands its capabilities in automated finishing technology. The integration of compound application equipment with robotic finishing systems enables manufacturers to optimize process performance while maintaining consistent compound delivery and surface finish quality.
