IDEX Corporation (NYSE:IEX) today announced that it has entered
into a definitive agreement to acquire STC Material Solutions
(“STC”), an integrated provider of advanced material science
solutions, from Artemis for cash consideration of $206 million USD,
subject to customary post-closing adjustments.
STC specializes in the design and manufacturing of technical
ceramics and hermetic sealing products for the most extreme,
mission critical applications. The company has relationships with
leading manufacturers in the semiconductor, aerospace and defense,
industrial technology, medical technology, and energy sectors.
Headquartered in St. Albans, Vermont, STC also has operations in
Santa Ana, California (USA).
“STC Material Solutions expands our growing expertise in
material sciences and offers significant opportunities to
collaborate with other IDEX critical components businesses on
comprehensive solution sets for customers,” IDEX Chief Executive
Officer and President Eric Ashleman said. “We see STC as an
excellent fit with our growth strategy, possessing IDEX qualities
throughout, including highly-engineered products developed and
built with expertise that commands a premium.”
“We continue to prioritize the identification and completion of
high-quality acquisitions like this. Our extended M&A team has
developed a strong funnel of excellent prospective additions that
will continue to put our strong balance sheet to work,” Ashleman
said.
STC is expected to generate approximately $50 million in revenue
in 2024, with IDEX-like margins and will be included in the Health
& Science Technologies (HST) segment.
IDEX expects the transaction to close by late-2023, subject to
regulatory approvals. This acquisition is expected to be funded by
IDEX using cash on hand and proceeds from its revolving credit
facility.
