EnPro Industries (USA; NYSE) has acquired Shanghai-based Sinflex Sealing Technologies, in an all-cash transaction.
Sinflex manufactures and distributes industrial sealing products.
It will become a division of EnPro's Garlock Sealing Technologies operation, and renamed as Garlock Sealing Technologies (Shanghai) Ltd.
The relationship between Sinflex and Garlock goes back more than a decade, as Sinflex began as a Garlock distributor. In recent years, Sinflex has expanded to become a manufacturer as well, and supplies some seals for Garlock.
Ernie Schaub, EnPro President and CEO, said: "Establishing an operational presence is key to our ability to address China's fast-growing sealing products market. Sinflex is one more small but important step in this direction. We will continue on this path later this quarter, when Stemco begins manufacturing operations at Shuzhou, also in the Shanghai area, further expanding the sealing products we manufacture and sell in China."
