Setting the standard for quality products that deliver excellence time after time.
EDGE Industrial Technologies brings an unmatched expertise to a global customer base with the combination of four brands: TGW International, Pearl Technologies Inc., Leverwood Knife Works, and Carbonomics. Together, these companies serve the food processing, flexible packaging, converting, and blown film industries.
Our History
EDGE came to be in 2018, when acquisitions TGW International and TGW Global merged with Pearl Technologies.
In 2021, EDGE acquired Leverwood Knife Works of Red Lion, PA, and with an eye to the future, doubled Leverwood’s capacity. Moving forward, EDGE is continuing the focus on US-made quality and delivery. The company is now also better suited to take on more custom industrial blade design jobs.
EDGE became a part of the Falfurrias Management Partners in 2024.
In 2025, EDGE expanded its expertise and global reach with the acquisition of Carbonomics, a leading manufacturer of precision ground machine knives for the food industry.
EDGE companies are leading producers of industrial machine knives and blades, industrial punches and related equipment, for a wide variety of markets.
We are a global leader in the manufacture of these products, with plants in Europe, North America, and Asia.
