Ingersoll Rand (IR) Announces Deal to Acquire SPX FLOW Arm
Read MoreHide Full Article
Ingersoll Rand Inc. (IR - Free Report) recently entered into an agreement to buy SPX FLOW’s Air Treatment unit for about $525 million.
SPX FLOW’s Air Treatment business is operational in the United States, Germany and South Korea where it employs around 500 employees. It is engaged in manufacturing filtration systems and purifiers for dehydration in compressed air, and energy-efficient desiccant and refrigerated dryers. The unit is expected to generate revenues of approximately $180 million in 2022.
The buyout aligns with IR’s strategy of expanding its product offerings in the compressor vertical. Air Treatment unit’s compressed air dryer and filtration equipment boosts the production and process reliability of the compressor. The acquisition also adds a complementary product portfolio to IR’s existing menu, which generates about half of the revenues from the recurring aftermarket offerings. Ingersoll Rand expects the buyout to yield accretive adjusted EBITDA margins to its Industrial Technologies and Services (IT&S) segment. This collaboration will likely drive synergies to increase adjusted EBITDA margins by more than 30% within the third year.
This deal is anticipated to close in the fourth quarter of 2022, subject to regulatory approvals. The business unit will be integrated into Ingersoll Rand’s IT&S segment.
