TJ Chung, Senior Partner of CORE, says: “Mark Two is consistently viewed by customers as a strategic manufacturing partner driven by its strong technical capabilities, consistent product quality and collaborative approach to customer service. Mark Two’s CNC machining capabilities are an ideal fit with the sheet metal capabilities of Incodema, and this transaction provides important geographic and end market expansion.”
