Cummins-Wagner Completes Acquisition of EESCO Pump & Valve

Cummins-Wagner Co., Inc., a leading distributor of industrial process equipment and HVAC equipment in the mid-Atlantic region, is pleased to announce that it has reached an agreement to acquire the operating assets of EESCO Pump & Valve. (“EESCO”).

EESCO, headquartered in Baltimore, MD is recognized as a leading service and machine shop in the Baltimore/Washington DC market. EESCO performs service and repair work to a variety of equipment with efforts concentrated in the following areas:

• Rotating Machinery (pumps, air handling fans, cooling towers, gear reducers, etc.)
• Electric Motors

• In-Plant Maintenance

The combination of Cummins-Wagner and EESCO creates a Company with greater scale and resources to meet the repair and service needs of our customers.

This transaction is a key part of Cummins-Wagner’s business strategy of steady, manageable growth through market penetration and acquisition. “Bringing EESCO’s repair and service capabilities in with our sales and engineering make us a more complete distributor. These full service capabilities bring a real benefit not only to our combined operations, but to our total customer base.” states Doug Ardinger, President of Cummins-Wagner.

“Cummins-Wagner’s strength in the fluid process equipment market, and its depth of resources, make it absolutely the right company to leverage our market expertise and resources for the benefit of our customers,” said Walter Shade, President and owner of EESCO.

The acquisition is expected to close by October 2017.  EESCO employees will become part of Cummins-Wagner’s 100% Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP). “The ESOP is a tremendous benefit and we are excited to have EESCO personnel become fellow employee owners and participate in the future success of the company,” said David Palmer, VP / CFO of Cummins-Wagner.
