Dynacast Finalizes Signicast Acquisition

CHARLOTTE, N.C., April 3, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Dynacast International, a global manufacturer of precision engineered metal components, is pleased to announce the Signicast, LLC., acquisition closed Friday, March 31, 2017.

Signicast is a highly automated and vertically integrated manufacturer of precision investment cast components. The company is the largest commercial investment casting manufacturer in the world and is regarded for its superior product quality and value, speed and flexibility, engineering and customer service.

Combining the Dynacast and Signicast offerings provides customers even more design freedom, with expanded choices of material, part complexity, and volume. As part of the merger, Signicast will remain as a separate operating division, ensuring business as usual for customers.

"Given Signicast's complementary manufacturing technology, this acquisition expands our existing customer offerings and accelerates our strategic vision for growth. I am pleased to be working closely with the Signicast team to ensure that the combined company continues to provide our customers with unparalleled technology, quality, and service," stated Simon Newman, Dynacast's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.

The acquisition adds over 800 employees from Signicast's two campuses in Wisconsin, expanding Dynacast's footprint to more than 9,500 employees in 27 locations. The merger enables Dynacast to continue growing both businesses, with intentions to globalize the Signicast division in the coming years.

This transformative acquisition supports Dynacast's strategic vision toward becoming a $1 billion-plus organization over the next two to three years and furthers Dynacast's position as the foremost global manufacturer of precision metal components.
