CHARLOTTE, N.C., Feb. 06, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- SPX Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: SPXC) (“SPX” or the “Company”) announced today that it has completed its acquisition of Crawford United Corporation (OTC: CRAWA) (“Crawford United”), a Cleveland-based holding company with a broad portfolio of highly engineered air handling and industrial products.

Crawford United’s shareholders voted in support of the transaction and, pursuant to the merger agreement governing the transaction, Crawford United was merged with a subsidiary of SPX, with holders of Class A and Class B common stock of Crawford United being entitled to receive, after adjustments for satisfaction of indebtedness and payment of expenses, cash consideration of approximately $83.86 per share, representing an aggregate transaction value of approximately $300 million. In connection with the acquisition, Crawford United’s shares of common stock will cease trading on the OTC Pink Limited Market before the open of market today.

The addition of Crawford United’s Commercial Air-Handling Equipment segment, comprised of Air Enterprises and Rahn Industries businesses, will expand SPX’s HVAC portfolio of custom air handling solutions and enhance its coil offering, bringing complementary technologies, design capabilities, and manufacturing footprint. Together, these capabilities will advance SPX’s strategy to deliver differentiated solutions, drive long-term value for customers and shareholders, and align well with its capital deployment strategy of acquiring high-engineering content businesses. The post-acquisition results of the Air Enterprises and Rahn Industries businesses will be reflected in SPX’s HVAC reportable segment.

Crawford United’s Industrial & Transportation Products segment, which includes an attractive portfolio of businesses serving aerospace, defense, transportation, and marine markets, is non-core to SPX’s long-term strategy. These non-core businesses are being recorded by SPX as assets held for sale, with their post-acquisition results being reported as discontinued operations while the Company executes its plan to sell these businesses, including identifying a suitable buyer(s). SPX intends for these non-core businesses to continue to operate without disruption to ensure a smooth transition for employees and customers throughout the process.

SPX management plans to provide 2026 guidance including the impact of Crawford United on February 24, 2026, when SPX Technologies reports Q4 2025 results.
