Honeywell To Acquire Elster, A Global Leader In Gas Heating, Controls, Metering, And Advanced Technologies
PR Newswire - Tue Jul 28, 1:04AM CDT
Honeywell (NYSE: HON) today announced that it has signed a definitive agreement to acquire the Elster Division of Melrose Industries plc, a leading provider of thermal gas solutions for commercial, industrial, and residential heating systems and gas, water, and electricity meters, including smart meters and software and data analytics solutions, for approximately $5.1 billion. Elster also manufactures flow computers and regulators for the gas industry. Elster consensus sales for 2015 are estimated to be $1.8 billion. The price translates to approximately 12.6 times Elster's estimated 2015 consensus earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA), and the acquisition is anticipated to occur in the first quarter of 2016. The agreement is subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory review and Melrose shareowner vote.

Hot Wires: Mechanical Cable Procurement Category Market Research Report from IBISWorld has Been Updated
PRWeb - Fri Mar 27, 2:01AM CDT
The mechanical cable market has a buyer power score of 3.3 out of 5, indicating that buyers have a slight advantage over suppliers when negotiating supply agreements. Buyers primarily benefit from the favorable pricing environment in the market. Despite strong postrecession demand from construction and industrial industries, falling input costs and increasing import competition have brought mechanical cable prices down over the past three years. For instance, "recent declines in steel prices have enabled suppliers to lower their production costs and bolster profit margins while also keeping prices low," says IBISWorld research analyst Sean Windle. Furthermore, rising import competition has spurred additional price competition in the market because US companies must compete with suppliers in China and other low-cost producing countries that can offer comparable goods at a fraction of the cost. Current major vendors include ArcelorMittal, Melrose Industries and WireCo WorldGroup.
