PlayCore Holdings, Inc., a designer, manufacturer and marketer of play and recreation products based in Chattanooga, Tenn., announced the acquisition of Power Systems on Jan. 5, 2015.

Founded in 1986, Power Systems offers fitness, strength training and sports conditioning products. The acquisition continues PlayCore's growth in the fitness market.

Day-to-day operations will continue from Power Systems' facility in Knoxville, Tenn., but will be supported by the management team in PlayCore's Chattanooga office.
