New York, New York – September 21, 2015 – Tenex Capital Partners, L.P., an operationally focused private equity firm, has closed the sale of portfolio company Techniks Industries, a company focused on providing high-quality cutting tool solutions for the metalworking and woodworking industries.
Tenex initially acquired what is now Techniks Industries in July 2012 through the acquisition of NAP Gladu, a leading designer, manufacturer and servicer of standard and custom industrial cutting tools used primarily in the woodworking, metalworking and advanced materials industries in North America. Tenex then acquired several add-ons to NAP Gladu:
The combined company is headquartered in Indianapolis, IN, with production sites in Jasper, IN, and Marieville, Quebec Canada. Techniks President & CEO Greg Webb said, “We have been very pleased with the transformational change we have accomplished together with Tenex, and we are excited about the prospects for future growth of the company under this next phase of ownership.”
“Tenex is pleased to close our second realization in the past month, and to again do so with a very successful outcome for all stakeholders,” said Tenex CEO Mike Green. “Techniks has achieved significant operational efficiencies during our slightly more than three years of ownership, and there has been a marked increase in nearly all key performance indicators.”
The acquisition was effective as of September 21, 2015.
