Seybert’s Billiard Supply has completed the acquisition of Penguin Amusements (also of Michigan).
Penguin is the leading manufacturer of replacement pool table rails (or ‘cushions’) in the US and has a long history of providing coin-operated pool table replacement parts to both operators and pool halls, as well as to homeowners with billiards tables. “Fred and the team at Penguin have built a reputation for producing the best rails in the industry and customers ask for them by name.” Seybert’s Director of Marketing, Mark Horton said. “We have sold Penguin rails for many years. Bringing Penguin into Seybert’s organization allows us to guarantee our customers access to the finest replacement pool table parts in the industry. With innovations like the ‘Pro Pocket’, a rail system that converts a bar-room table into a tournament-style playing experience, we think we can help bring greater awareness to the options table owners have to take their game up a level, and hopefully, we can create a couple of Michigan jobs in the process.”
Fred Taylor, who founded Penguin in 1986, will continue working throughout the transition period and is excited to see what’s next for his team and the company they have built. “I’ve been working with Seybert’s for years. They are a great bunch of guys and I’m thrilled to have found someone who wants to take over Penguin who knows the industry and can help the team here grow and continue the work we have done,” said Fred.
