Acme United Corp., a Shelton, Connecticut-based manufacturer of cutting, measuring, first aid and sharpening products, has acquired SLED Distribution LLC of North Salt Lake.
SLED Distribution does business as My Medic and is a supplier of tactical, trauma and emergency response products, primarily in the direct-to-consumer channel.
My Medic had revenues in 2025 of approximately $19 million. Established in 2014, the company employs 40 people.
Walter C. Johnsen, chairman and CEO of Acme United, said, “We are delighted to welcome the management and team of My Medic to our company. We believe the combined marketing, distribution, sourcing and manufacturing capabilities of our two operations will greatly enhance the reach and value of My Medic’s life-saving products. My Medic has an extensive library of training videos and over 500,000 followers on its social media platforms. We believe its direct-to-consumer presence for trauma and emergency response products is the strongest in the United States. We intend to keep My Medic’s operations in North Salt Lake and to expand its product offering and distribution in the U.S. and Canada.”
The purchase price of the acquisition was $18.7 million with $14.6 million paid at closing and the remainder subject to performance goals.
