Comark, a portfolio company of JMC Capital Partners and a maker of ruggedized industrial computing products, has acquired Total Control Solutions.
Total Control Solutions (TCS) specializes in embedded and industrial computer and display interface products used in the industrial automation, transportation, test, and measurement markets. The company is headquartered northwest of Minneapolis in Corcoran, MN (www.totalcontrolsolutions.com).
“TCS is a great fit within the Comark family of ruggedized solutions for the industrial automation market. Their ability to deliver custom solutions quickly and efficiently will expand our overall platform and offerings,” said Stephen Schott, CEO of Comark.

Comark is headquartered southwest of Boston in Medfield, MA (www.comarkcorp.com).
“We believe the acquisition of TCS will enhance Comark’s position as a leading designer and manufacturer of innovative ruggedized computer and display solutions,” said G. Lawrence Bero, Partner at JMC Capital Partners.

Sectors of interest include industrial components and equipment; electrical and electronic equipment; process instrumentation and controls; analytical instruments and measuring devices; fluid control, filtration and pumps; specialty chemicals, adhesives and coatings; plastics and synthetic materials; and healthcare and safety equipment.
