Michael Malyn, owner and President of Malyn Industrial Ceramics, Inc. (MICI), has announced his retirement and his plans to sell the company. “My wife, Patricia, and I started this business 38 years ago. While it had its ups and downs, it has been a pleasure to work together all these years. Having our daughter, Christina, join us about 20 years ago made it even more special. This past year I turned 80 years old and we decided that we are not getting younger and there a few things we would like to do before our time is up. With that in mind, I contacted my dearest customers to let them know that Malyn Industrial Ceramics, Inc. will be going up for sale,” said Mr. Malyn.
If a Malyn customer doesn’t purchase the company, Mr. Malyn plans to offer the company on the global market. “I am sure your readers know this is a very niche market, but some of you may not know that we are the last manufacturer of boron carbide nozzles in the U.S. Boron carbide is ideal for nozzles for shot peening because it’s very durable and dependable. It’s third in hardness only to diamond and cubic boron nitride.”
Malyn Industrial Ceramics, Inc. was founded by Mr. Malyn in 1986 in the small town of Akron, New York. Establishing the unknown company was difficult, but Mr. Malyn did test parts for clients and the company quickly gained a reputation for on-time delivery of affordable, high-quality products. Today, MICI ships custom-made boron carbide nozzles and other boron carbide components around the world.
Until the company is sold, it is under the management of the family team that prides themselves on immediate response and personal contact. “Our business is strong, which is a blessing, and we look forward to a successful transition to new ownership,” said Mr. Malyn.
