Lamons Acquires X-Cel India Private Limited

Lamons is pleased to announce the acquisition of X-Cel India Private Limited based in Faridabad, India, effective September 13, 2011. X-Cel India Private Limited is a manufacturer of API 6A ring type joint gaskets in various materials utilized by the oilfield and industrial markets.
