Ampro Industries, Inc., a leading manufacturer of hair, skin, and personal care products for the multicultural consumer, has acquired several brands from Keystone Laboratories, Inc. - including Long Aid, Ultra Glow, Better Braids, Better Locks, K7, and Apex. 

Keystone has been a product manufacturer, for hair and skin products, since 1926. Both Keystone and Ampro were founded in Memphis. "We believe the similarities that exist between ourselves and Keystone make the acquisition of their legacy brands a perfect fit," says Melanie Rudner-Herron of Ampro.  "We are committed to meeting our customers' needs by manufacturing quality products for an affordable price."

The Ampro family of products includes over 30 unique hair care items including the "Ampro Pro Styl" Protein Styling Gels, as well as its award-winning line Shine 'n Jam conditioning gels.

Through the acquisition of Keystone's brands, Ampro adds to its catalog even more products its consumers regard as staples. 

Jonathan Rudner, Ampro, comments, "Through these additional brands, we will expand our skin care offering and further our reach into the textured hair community. We promise to continue the Memphis tradition and provide our consumers with high-quality products they can trust."

Ampro operates out of a state-of-the art manufacturing facility in Memphis, and boasts one of the highest fulfilment rates in the industry. Jack Sammons, president, adds, "We have a proven reputation known widely across the industry, and we look forward to continuing to build on our legacy."
