Rice Lake Weighing Systems announces the purchase of Precision Loads of Seattle, WA. Since 1993 Precision Loads has been a premier manufacturer of on-board scales with a reputation for outstanding quality and service. Rice Lake has been the exclusive national distributor for Precision Loads since 2005. Because of their strong working relationship, both parties expect the transition to be seamless.

With this acquisition, Rice Lake Weighing Systems has expanded their presence in the field of on-board weighing and will take a more active role in the design, manufacture and support of these field-proven products, in addition to continuing to develop new technologies in on-board weighing solutions. Thomas Kendall, President of Precision Loads, will be retained as an employee of Rice Lake and serve as the Director of Strategic Accounts for On-Board Weighing Systems.

Questions regarding this acquisition can be directed to management representatives Mark Johnson Jr. or Steve Parkman. More information about Precision Loads products can be found at www.precisionloads.com. Rice Lake is committed to making this change as transparent as possible for all Precision Loads customers.
