SHERBURNE – Chenango Valley Technologies has acquired a New Jersey brush manufacturer and moved its operations to Sherburne, with plans to hire additional workers as the business expands.

The company completed its acquisition of Andon Brush Company’s assets on October 5 following negotiations led by CVT Vice President Cole Williams. Andon, previously based in Little Falls, New Jersey, generated more than $2 million in annual sales, according to CVT.

CVT is a full-service custom injection molding and tooling company based in Sherburne. It provides product development, prototyping, tooling and injection molding services to customers across a wide range of industries.

CVT employs approximately 45 people and plans to add five to 10 employees over the next six months, followed by at least 10 more by the end of 2027. The company said it is hiring for multiple manufacturing positions, including entry-level jobs and experienced manufacturing technicians.

The acquisition builds on a relationship spanning more than 25 years. CVT previously supplied Andon with custom injection-molded caps and components used in pharmaceutical, dental and industrial products.

CVT operates a three-shift manufacturing operation, giving Andon the potential to triple its production capacity while providing the additional equipment, workforce and infrastructure needed to support future growth.

“This acquisition is a natural extension of a relationship that has been successful for more than 25 years,” said Shawn Baker, president and owner of Chenango Valley Technologies. “Bringing the operations together in Sherburne gives us the opportunity to significantly increase production capacity while continuing to provide the quality and service our customers expect.”

Andon manufactures specialty brushes, brush-cap applicators, applicator assemblies, containers and closures for industrial, medical, dental, pharmaceutical, cosmetic and other markets.

CVT provides product design, prototyping, mold design and manufacturing, tooling and custom injection molding. The company operates 25 injection molding presses ranging from 20 to 540 tons, with production capabilities ranging from prototypes to millions of parts.

The company projects annual sales exceeding $10 million by 2028, with the acquisition expected to contribute to that growth.

“This is an exciting opportunity for both companies,” Williams said. “We are bringing complementary manufacturing capabilities together while creating the capacity and resources needed to support continued growth.”

CVT is owned by Shawn and Katie Baker of Sherburne. The company has operated since 1972 and is located at 328 Route 12B.
