ZURICH (Reuters) - Swiss industrial company Sulzer (>> Sulzer AG) is buying British caulk gun maker PC Cox as it seeks to boost access to U.S. customers who include auto repair shops, do-it-yourself home repair enthusiasts and construction companies.

Sulzer said in a statement on Tuesday that PC Cox has an enterprise value of about 22 million Swiss francs ($22.9 million). It gave no purchase price.

Sulzer is adding PC Cox to its Mixpac business, whose products include battery-powered dispensing guns used for sealing toilets, fastening construction materials and making watertight repairs on automobiles. It also makes specialised dispensers for the health care industry.

A Sulzer spokesman said the acquisition, which includes PC Cox's manufacturing facilities near East Lansing, Michigan, boosts the Swiss company's access to U.S. customers.
