Press Release
CIRCOR Increases Penetration of High-Growth
Power Generation
Market with Purchase of Germany-based Schroedahl
Accretive Acquisition
Expands Energy
Business in Asia and Middle East
Burlington, MA - April 16, 2015
CIRCOR International,
Inc. (NYSE: CIR),
a leading provider of valves and other highly engineered products for markets including oil & gas,
power generation and aerospace & defense,
announced the acquisition of Germany-based Schroedahl. Schroedahl is a privately-owned
manufacturer of safety and control valves primarily for the power generation market and, in 2014, recorded revenue of approximately
$30 million with EBITDA margins over 35%.
"We are excited to welcome the Schroedahl team to CIRCOR,"
said Scott Buckhout, President and Chief Executive Officer of CIRCOR International. "This acquisition positions us in the
high-growth power generation market, particularly in Asia and the Middle East, and is consistent with our disciplined capital deployment
strategy. Schroedahl provides sustainable, high margins as a result of its strong engineering capabilities, differentiated technology
and excellent reputation for severe service valves. The company has a leading share of the auto-recirculation valve market, which
has high barriers to entry. We also will be able to leverage our global salesforce to expand Schroedahl's product sales".
"We are delighted to be combining forces with CIRCOR and to
expand Schroedahl's access to customers and geographies beyond our current reach", said Marc Schroeder, Managing Director
of Schroedahl. "This combination will enhance our product offering and further strengthen our competitive position".
Founded in 1962 with customers in Asia, Europe and the Americas,
Schroedahl produces custom-engineered high-pressure auto-recirculation (ARC) and control valves for pump protection applications.
ARC valves ensure the consistent minimum flow rate of pumps in order to guard against overheating, collapse or destruction. Schroedahl
has the leading market position in the ARC valve market and has long-term relationships with pump OEMs.
This transaction provides for:
Earnings accretion with strong, sustainable margins
Greater penetration of the high-growth power generation market
Increased presence in the high-growth Asia and Middle East regions
Differentiated technology and leading market position in a niche market
with high barriers to entry
Opportunity to leverage CIRCOR's global sales and operating footprint
