Fabrico, Inc., which has operations in Oxford, is buying Johnson Tool and Manufacturing in Charlton, the company announced this morning.

Johnson Tool has a 20,000-square-foot facility on Route 20 in Charlton. Johnson employees will remain with the company, which will be run by Ray Johnson Jr., plant superintendent and son of the company owner and president Ray Johnson, who is retiring. The terms of the deal were not disclosed.
