AMETEK ANNOUNCES TWO ACQUISITIONS
AMPTEK, Inc. Broadens AMETEKs Materials Analysis Capabilities
Luphos GmbH Adds Unique Technology to AMETEKs Metrology Platform
Berwyn, PA, August 5, 2014 AMETEK, Inc. (NYSE: AME) today announced that it has completed two
acquisitions:
|
|
|
AMPTEK, Inc., a privately held provider of x-ray detectors used to identify the
composition of materials using x-ray fluorescence (XRF) within the metal, environmental
monitoring, petrochemical, semiconductor and research markets |
|
|
|
Luphos GmbH, a highly strategic technology acquisition which provides key non-contact
metrology technology used in the measurement of complex aspherical lenses and optical
surfaces |
Both AMPTEK and Luphos are excellent acquisitions and highly strategic additions to our Electronic
Instruments Group. These businesses will allow us to expand our presence in materials analysis and
dimensional metrology, two attractive growth platforms. These acquisitions also continue our very
strong deployment of capital on acquisitions, comments Frank S. Hermance, AMETEK Chairman and
Chief Executive Officer.
Amptek
Headquartered in Bedford, MA, Amptek provides instrumentation and detectors used in non-destructive
materials analysis applications. The privately held manufacturer has annual sales of approximately
$30 million.
Amptek is a leader in x-ray detectors used in portable and laboratory instrumentation utilizing
x-ray fluorescence (XRF), electronics for nuclear and spaceflight instruments, and gamma-ray
detectors for Homeland Security and nuclear emissions monitoring.
Amptek is an excellent addition to our materials analysis businesses. Its products and technology
nicely complement our existing materials analysis capabilities. They also expand our presence into
a number of attractive market segments including bench top and life sciences applications,
comments Frank S. Hermance, AMETEK Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.
