Columbus McKinnon Closes Acquisition of montratec® GmbH

Columbus McKinnon Corporation (Nasdaq: CMCO), a leading designer and manufacturer of intelligent motion solutions for material handling, today announced that it has closed the previously announced acquisition of montratec® GmbH, a leading automation solutions company that designs and develops intelligent automation and transport systems for interlinking industrial production and logistics processes. The Company has acquired montratec in an all-cash transaction for approximately $110 million at current exchange rates. The acquisition includes an earnout in an amount expected not to exceed $14 million based on future EBITDA performance of montratec.

This acquisition advances our strategy to expand our presence in attractive markets with strong secular tailwinds, such as life sciences, semiconductor and electronics. We expect their growth and margin profile to enhance our efforts to drive stronger earnings power and advance the transformation of Columbus McKinnon as a leading intelligent motion solutions provider for material handling,” noted David J. Wilson, President and CEO of Columbus McKinnon.
