Precision Roll merges with American Roller

Precision Roll Solutions and American Roller Company have announced their merger.

The combined organization brings together PRS’s precision roll and cylinder manufacturing, including laser-engraved anilox rolls, gravure and embossing rolls, specialty base rolls, and web handling equipment, with American Roller Company’s expertise in engineered roll coverings and cores, industrial coatings, and broad field service capability.

As part of the merger, Scott Vuchetich will assume the role of CEO, effective July 6. Vuchetich brings more than 30 years of experience leading growth-stage organizations.

Dan Cahalane, who has served as CEO of American Roller since 2005, will transition to executive vice president. Cahalane will work closely with Vuchetich and the broader leadership team, ensuring continuity and direction as the company integrates and scales. 

'What the team at American Roller has accomplished over the years is remarkable,' said Cahalane. 'To now merge with an equally accomplished team at PRS dramatically accelerates the possibilities for our customers and our combined teammates.'

Justin Glass, who has served as CEO of Precision Roll Solutions since 2024, will become the chief commercial officer of the combined company.

'This merger gives our customers immediate access to a broader set of capabilities, backed by the same teams and the same standard of precision they've always counted on,' Glass said. 'I couldn't be more energized about what this team builds next.'

'I'm honored to step into this role at such an exciting inflection point,' said Vuchetich. 'The foundation Dan, Justin and their respective teams have built is exceptional, and I'm committed to building on that momentum for our employees, customers and partners.'

Together, ARCO and PRS deliver an integrated capability set that spans the full roll lifecycle: precision-engineered base rolls and cylinders, laser-engraved and mechanically engraved surfaces, specialty rubber and elastomer coverings, thermal and UV-cure coatings, and the service infrastructure to support them. These capabilities serve flexographic, gravure, laminating, coating, embossing, metal and industrial converting applications.
