Michaela Craig Nix acquires Heritage Custom Fabricators Nix Companies, Inc. an- nounced July 10 that it has acquired the assets of Her- itage Custom Fabricators, Inc., a Princeton-based company with more than 80 years of service provid- ing heavy machining, gear manufacturing and fabri- cation services. Heritage is now an independent di- vision of Nix Companies and will continue to serve its growing customer base from its Princeton facility. Heritage Custom Fabri- cators, founded in 1936 as Woods Welding & Machine by Wylie Woods, focused on agricultural repairs. In 1981, Russ Butts purchased the business and renamed it Heritage Custom Fabri- cators. His son, Clint Butts, ran the company for several years until it was acquired in 2016 by Sam Przymus. Today the Heritage team op- erates out of a 50,000 square foot facility specializing in heavy contract machining, gear manufacturing, gear- box rebuilds, welding and fabrication. Sam Przymus offered the following statement regard- ing the acquisition: "A fter my time at Heritage, I rec- ognized that with Nix at the helm, the value for both or- ganizations would benefit together much more than apart. I am looking forward to the future with a great leadership team at the con- trols of this ship."
