Navitar Inc. has been acquired by AMETEK Inc., a Pennsylvania-based global manufacturer of electronic instruments and electromechanical devices.
AMETEK – which logged sales of $5.5 billion in 2021 – acquired Rochester-based Navitar, along with Canadian firm RTDS Technologies Inc., for roughly $430 million.
The two firms log annual sales of some $100 million, AMETEK reported.
“These businesses nicely complement our existing capabilities and strategically expand our presence in highly attractive secular growth areas,” said David A. Zapico, AMETEK chairman and CEO, in a statement. “AMETEK continues to strengthen our portfolio through the acquisition of market-leading businesses with innovative, advanced technology solutions.”
Both companies join AMETEK as part of its Electronic Instruments Group.
