Recent Manufacturing Acquisitions
Acquisition Volume in Manufacturing by Year
Last 5 years
This page highlights recent M&A and growth investments across the Manufacturing sector, with transactions led by private equity platforms, strategic industrial buyers and minority growth investors.
Deals frequently emphasize capability expansion — from materials analysis and metrology to hygienic pumps, power systems, motion control and textile/adhesive manufacturing — and span U.S. manufacturing hubs as well as select international locations such as Rajasthan, India and Hungary. Notable participants include private equity firms like ONCAP and Lone Star Funds, strategic buyers such as Legrand, and growth investors like Kanbrick and CQL Capital.
What Stands Out
- Buyer mix: active participation from private equity platforms (for example ONCAP, Lone Star Funds, Highland Rim Capital) alongside strategic acquirers (for example Legrand, Patton Electronics).
- Capability-led deals: transactions target materials analysis/metrology, hygienic and sanitary process equipment, power distribution/switchgear, motion-control and automation components, adhesives and technical textiles.
- Deal structure variety: majority takeovers and take-privates (e.g., ONCAP, Lone Star Funds), minority growth investments and strategic co-investments (e.g., Kanbrick, CQL Capital), and add-on or product-line acquisitions to expand capabilities.
- Geographic spread: recent transactions are concentrated across U.S. manufacturing states (Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, Colorado, Pennsylvania, Texas, Maryland, Florida) with international examples in Rajasthan, India and Hungary.
