American Industrial Partners Signs Agreement to Acquire the High Pressure Solutions Segment of Ingersoll Rand
HOUSTON, Feb. 16, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- American Industrial Partners ("AIP") announced today the signing of an agreement to acquire a majority interest in the High Pressure Solutions Segment ("HPS" or the "Company") of Ingersoll Rand (formerly part of Gardner Denver's Energy Segment). The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions and is expected to be completed in the first half of 2021.
AIP was attracted to HPS due to its position as a premier market leader in the manufacturing, service, and repair of high-pressure pumps and related consumables in the upstream energy market. The completion of the transaction will result in HPS becoming a stand-alone business, enabling the Company to focus its efforts on best serving its customers in the upstream oilfield service sector, while continuing its legacy of delivering highly-engineered and efficient, customer-driven solutions to meet the evolving needs of the market.
"We are excited to partner with the team at HPS to advance the Company's storied history of innovation and commercialization of technologies that enable efficient energy production," said Alex Menkhaus, a Partner at AIP. "AIP brings deep experience in the end markets served, as well as expertise in new product development, supply chain optimization, and operational excellence, and we look forward to working with the Company to continue to build on the strong foundation that exists today."
"This is a great step forward for our organization that will give us the flexibility to continue to serve our customers with innovative products and excellent customer service," said Ingersoll Rand HPS Segment Vice President and General Manager, Edward Bayhi, who will serve as CEO under the new ownership structure. "We value the investment from Ingersoll Rand that built this business into a market leader, and we are enthusiastic about the next phase of growth as a standalone organization enabled through the partnership with AIP."
