MILWAUKEE, Sept. 05, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Enerpac Tool Group Corp. (NYSE: EPAC) (“Enerpac” or the “Company”) announced today that it completed the acquisition of Madrid, Spain-based DTA The Smart Move, S.A. (“DTA”), a global leader in the industrial heavy loads transportation industry, designing and manufacturing mobile robotic solutions. The purchase price is €24 million plus potential for a three-year earn-out tied to the achievement of certain financial objectives. The purchase price will be funded with a combination of cash on hand and borrowings from the Company’s credit facility.
The acquisition of DTA advances Enerpac Tool Group’s pure-play industrial tools and solutions strategy by adding automated on-site horizontal movement products to its Heavy Lifting Technology (HLT) portfolio and capitalizes on the trend towards greater automation in manufacturing and other industrial processes. DTA’s products, technology, and capabilities will also expand Enerpac’s solutions offerings in existing vertical markets, including rail, wind, infrastructure, aerospace, and nuclear. For fiscal 2025, DTA is expected to generate approximately €20 million in revenue and have a neutral effect on adjusted EPS, excluding one-time transaction costs and before accounting for synergies.
Paul Sternlieb, Enerpac Tool Group Corp. President and CEO, stated, “The addition of DTA’s complementary expertise and on-site horizontal movement products to our product portfolio will allow us to serve a greater portion of customers’ end-to-end activities. Moreover, we can leverage Enerpac’s global sales and operational discipline to create value for our customers and shareholders. We are excited to grow our business through this strategic acquisition and welcome DTA’s leadership and team to the Enerpac family.”
