amalgamator

One who blends

An amalgamator is a person or device that combines different elements into a unified whole.

In mining, an amalgamator is equipment that extracts precious metals by mixing ore with mercury.

More broadly, anyone who merges disparate things—companies, ideas, groups—can be called an amalgamator: He was the great amalgamator of rival factions.
