ANTEUIL, FRANCE (Oct. 11, 1 p.m. ET) – Delfingen Industry SA, a global supplier of electrical wiring protection systems, has purchased Hilec LLC. Terms were not disclosed.

Hilec makes coated fiberglass insulation sleeving and related products for use in electric motors, generators, transformers, appliances, lighting devices and wiring harnesses. The West Allis, Wis.-based company produces vinyl, acrylic, and silicone rubber coated sleeving as well as heat-cleaned glass and saturated grades.
