Jemison Investment Company has successfully completed the divestiture of its investment stake in Tarrant Hydraulic Service, Inc. The existing management team will assume full ownership of the company. Headquartered in Tarrant, Alabama with additional operations in Mobile, Tarrant Hydraulic specializes in the custom manufacturing, modification, repair and maintenance of hydraulic/pneumatic cylinders, pumps, valves, air tools and lube equipment. The company primarily serves production facilities with exacting performance requirements and harsh environments within the steel, marine, mining, pulp and paper mill, pipe, construction and excavating industries.
