CHARLOTTE, N.C., April 15, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — SPX Technologies, Inc. (NYSE:SPXC) (“SPX Technologies” or the “Company”) announced today that it has completed the acquisition of Sigma Heating and Cooling and Omega Heat Pump (“Sigma & Omega”). The purchase price of approximately $144 million (CAD 200 million) reflects an acquisition multiple consistent with SPX’s typical range of 8x-12x Adjusted EBITDA*.

Sigma & Omega will operate as part of SPX’s hydronics business, along with Weil-McLain and Patterson-Kelley, within our HVAC segment.

SPX plans to significantly increase Sigma & Omega’s sales to U.S. customers, supported by the expansion of U.S.-based production. Management plans to update full-year 2025 guidance to include the impact of Sigma & Omega on May 1, 2025, when SPX Technologies reports Q1 2025 results.

Sigma & Omega’s differentiated product offering fits perfectly with our existing portfolio of solutions, enhances the value we provide to our customers, and is consistent with our reputation for quality and innovation. Sigma & Omega’s vertical stack water sourced heat pumps and fan coils, and commercial self-contained units are frequently paired with hydronics equipment and cooling towers, creating numerous opportunities to leverage our existing channels.”

Additionally, their proprietary configuration software offers significant value to customers and enhances production efficiency – critical advantages as we grow.”
