B&amp;B also brings with it two recent acquisitions, Diversified Specialties and JJC Associates.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">&quot;The B&amp;B acquisition greatly expands Solve&#39;s domestic manufacturing capabilities and allows us to be a full spectrum provider of drive train solutions,&quot; said Ernie Lauber, CEO of Solve (pictured above). &quot;Our customers will greatly benefit from B&amp;B&#39;s domestic manufacturing, which enables faster lead times and significant made-to-order capabilities. &quot; &quot;I am very excited for the opportunity this brings to B&amp;B,&quot; said Bob Hamilton, founder of B&amp;B Manufacturing. &quot;Solve has built a great platform, and I am looking forward to seeing how we can accelerate growth together.&quot;</span></p>
