Acquisition of Westech Vac Systems Ltd.
On January 5, 2016, the Company completed the acquisition of 100% of the stock of Westech Vac Systems, Ltd. (“Westech”), a Canadian manufacturer of high-quality, rugged vacuum trucks, from Advance Engineered Products Ltd. for an initial purchase price of C$8.0 million (approximately U.S. $5.8 million), subject to certain working capital adjustments. At closing, the Company paid an additional C$0.7 million (approximately U.S. $0.5 million) as a preliminary working capital adjustment. Any additional working capital adjustment is expected to be finalized in the first quarter of 2016. The preliminary purchase price allocation has not been completed at this time, due to the proximity of the date of acquisition to the date of issuance of the consolidated financial statements. The Company expects that Westech will provide an efficient entry into a new line of product offerings and access to new markets. The post-acquisition operating results of Westech are expected to be included within the Environmental Solutions Group.
