IDEX Corporation Completes Acquisition of Muon Group

IDEX Corporation (NYSE:IEX) today announced that it has completed its previously-announced acquisition of micro-precision technology manufacturing company Muon B.V. and its subsidiaries (“Muon Group”).

Based in the Netherlands, Muon Group manufactures highly precise flow paths in a variety of materials that enable the movement of various liquids and gases in critical applications for medical technologies, semiconductor, food processing, digital printing and filtration. The group includes LouwersHanique, Veco, Millux, Tecan and Atul, which have critical technical expertise in precision and tolerances for different materials, from metals and glass to plastics and ceramics.

“The Muon Group companies are an IDEX-like collection of businesses, making precise, highly-engineered solutions for mission-critical applications, with a values-based culture that very much matches ours. I’m pleased to welcome the Muon Group team to the IDEX family,” IDEX Chief Executive Officer and President Eric Ashleman said.

“It’s clear that joining a global manufacturing company like IDEX will give us tremendous opportunities to continue scaling up our growth. Becoming part of the IDEX culture and operating model will give us resources, rigor and colleagues that we believe will help us together achieve even greater things,” said Michiel Barendse, Managing Director of Muon Group.

Muon Group will report into IDEX’s Health & Science Technology (HST) segment.
