Acquisitions | 3. Acquisitions 2024 Acquisitions During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company acquired eight businesses in separate transactions for total consideration of $674,005, net of cash acquired and inclusive of measurement period adjustments and contingent consideration of $38,736 (a non-cash financing activity). These businesses were acquired to complement and expand upon existing operations within the Clean Energy & Fueling, Engineered Products, Imaging & Identification and Pumps and Process Solutions segments. The goodwill recorded as a result of these acquisitions represents the economic benefits expected to be derived from product line expansions and operational synergies. Goodwill of $14,188 is deductible for income tax purposes and $323,063 is non-deductible for income tax purposes for these acquisitions. The fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, and the related tax balances, are based on preliminary estimates and assumptions. These preliminary estimates and assumptions could change significantly during the measurement period as the Company finalizes the valuations of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, and the related tax balances. On July 19, 2024, the Company acquired 100% of the equity interests in the Marshall Excelsior Company ("MEC"), a supplier of highly-engineered flow control components for transportation, storage, and use in liquefied petroleum gas and other industrial gases, for $395,809, net of cash acquired and inclusive of measurement period adjustments. The MEC acquisition expands the Company's critical flow control capabilities in the Clean Energy & Fueling segment. In connection with this acquisition, the Company recorded goodwill of $187,923 and intangible assets of $194,100, primarily related to customer intangibles. The fair value for customer intangibles at the acquisition date was determined using the multi-period excess earnings method under the income approach. The fair value measurements of intangible assets are based on significant unobservable inputs, and thus represent Level 3 inputs. Significant assumptions used in assessing the fair values of intangible assets include discounted future cash flows, customer attrition rates and discount rates. The following presents the preliminary allocation of purchase price to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, for the MEC acquisition, based on the estimated fair values at acquisition date:
| Total |  |  |
Current assets, net of cash acquired | $ | 58,695 |  |  |  |
