SPX said that the transaction includes all Anhydro’s business units with the exception of its Danish Filter business, Simatek, and its German, UK and US operations, as well as certain individual projects.
SPX had entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Anhydro on June 18, 2010. Anhydro is expected to operate within SPX’s Flow Technology segment.
Christopher Kearney, president, chairman and CEO of SPX, said: “The addition of Anhydro broadens our technology equipment offerings and systems capabilities and strengthens our ability to serve customers in the global food, pharmaceutical and chemical processing end markets.
“This strategic transaction also builds on our recent acquisition of Gerstenberg Schroder and underscores our commitment to expanding our Flow Technology segment, which remains a key component of our global growth strategy.”
