CEO Hendrik Stoltz describes the consolidation as a strategic response to a volatile industrial landscape. By pooling over 40 years of engineering experience and 200,000 square feet of production space across Virginia and Indiana, the company aims to bridge the gap between niche machine builders and massive enterprise integrators. The firm will offer end-to-end support ranging from robotics and machine vision to precision manufacturing and lifecycle controls.

THRYVE Automation debuts at Automate 2026
Three established manufacturing firms—Jewett Automation, Filtration Technology Systems, and S&J Precision—have merged to launch THRYVE Automation. The new entity debuts at the Automate 2026 conference in Chicago, positioning itself as a comprehensive partner for companies navigating labor shortages and the rapid integration of artificial intelligence.

Stoltz emphasizes that manufacturers no longer require simple equipment suppliers, but rather long-term partners capable of addressing complex operational hurdles. As reshoring initiatives accelerate and AI infrastructure demands grow, the unified brand intends to provide the flexibility and technical depth necessary to sustain modern production cycles. The official introduction of this integrated service model takes place during the industry event running from June 22–25.
