Teledyne Technologies Incorporated (NYSE:TDY) (“Teledyne”) announced
today that it has submitted a binding offer for Teledyne to acquire the
gas and flame detection business of 3M for $230 million in cash. The gas
and flame detection business includes Oldham, Simtronics, Gas
Measurement Instruments (GMI), Detcon and select Scott Safety products.
The gas and flame detection business provides a portfolio of fixed and
portable industrial gas and flame detection instruments used in a
variety of industries including petrochemical, power generation, oil &
gas, food & beverage, mining and waste water treatment. The Oldham,
Simtronics, GMI and Detcon brands bring together over 100 years of
industry experience across a wide range of standard products and
customized solutions. These rugged trace gas analyzers feature fast
response time, intrinsically-safe sensors and satisfy multiple
international certification standards.
“The gas and flame detection business utilizes similar technology and
serves related markets as our portfolio of environmental instrumentation
businesses. However, our respective products do not compete and we
generally serve customers in complementary geographies,” said Robert
Mehrabian, Executive Chairman of Teledyne. “This business will become a
long-term core business of Teledyne, and we look forward to welcoming it
and its employees to Teledyne.”
The transaction is anticipated to close in the second half of 2019, and
is subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory
approval and consultation or information requirements with relevant
works councils. Teledyne management expects the transaction to be
accretive to GAAP earnings per share in the first year after the
acquisition.
