LAKE FOREST, Ill., July 23, 2012 — Idex Corp. has acquired Matcon Group Ltd. of Evesham, England, a supplier of materials processing solutions for high-value powders used in food, pharmaceuticals, plastics and fine-chemicals manufacturing.

Matcon’s products include the original cone valve powder discharge system and filling, mixing and packaging systems, all of which maintain clean, reliable and repeatable formulations of prepackaged foods and pharmaceuticals for lean, agile manufacturing.

With annual revenues of approximately £22 million (about $34.2 million), Matcon will operate within Idex’s Health and Science Technologies Div. in the materials processing technologies platform. The company, which has cash considerations of about £24 million paid upon close and the potential to obtain additional performance-based consideration contingent upon 2012 and 2013 financial results, is expected to be accretive to Idex’s earnings within the first full year after acquisition.

“Matcon is a perfect fit for the platform and will join Quadro Engineering, Fitzpatrick and Microfluidics in one of our fastest-growing market segments,” said Idex Chairman and CEO Andrew Silvernail.

Glossary
microfluidics
Microfluidics is a multidisciplinary field that involves the manipulation and control of very small fluid volumes, typically in the microliter (10-6 liters) to picoliter (10-12 liters) range, within channels or devices with dimensions on the microscale. It integrates principles from physics, chemistry, engineering, and biotechnology to design and fabricate systems that handle and analyze fluids at the micro level. Key features and aspects of microfluidics include: Miniaturization:...
photonics
The technology of generating and harnessing light and other forms of radiant energy whose quantum unit is the photon. The science includes light emission, transmission, deflection, amplification and detection by optical components and instruments, lasers and other light sources, fiber optics, electro-optical instrumentation, related hardware and electronics, and sophisticated systems. The range of applications of photonics extends from energy generation to detection to communications and...
