Chiz Bros, a provider of custom solutions for glass refractory and high temperature applications, has acquired its long-term vendor, Advanced Material Science.

Advanced Material Science is a thermal and electrical insulation material distributor located in southwestern Pennsylvania, USA with an additional focus on custom CNC machining.

The location of the manufacturing facility, 2965 Pittsburgh Street in Perryopolis, will remain unchanged, with plans by Chiz Bros. to invest in improvements to machinery, inventory, and safety practices.

Mark Rhoa, Jr., vice president of Chiz Bros, said: “The acquisition of Advanced Material Science will help us expand our offerings in regard to induction insulation and utilize their quick turnaround and precise machine services.

“We are excited to welcome them into the Chiz Bros. family. We pride ourselves on supplying high quality materials and AMS certainly fits that mould.”

With the purchase, John Pertinaci will remain on-site as plant manager.

“Advanced Material Science has always enjoyed working with Chiz Bros. as a customer, and now we can take a step further and work together as one company,” says Pertinaci, who has been plant manager of AMS for more than seven years.

“I look forward to this new relationship and the mutual benefits it will bring to the industry.”
