Noncontrolling Interests Noncontrolling Interests
Effective October 31, 2013, Safran S.A. (Safran) acquired a 10 percent equity interest in Albany Safran Composites, LLC ("ASC").
On August 31, 2023, the Company acquired all the outstanding shares of Heimbach, a privately held manufacturer of paper machine clothing with headquarters in Düren, Germany. In July 2021, Heimbach acquired 85% of Arcari, SRL (“Arcari”). Arcari is a manufacturer of textile and plastic industrial technical products and conveyor belts.
On April 1, 2025, Heimbach sold its 85% controlling interest in Arcari to the minority shareholder and recorded a gain of $1.6 million included in Other (Income) expense on the sale. In connection with the sale, the corresponding value of the non-controlling interest was reduced to zero. The Company did not retain any ownership in Arcari as a result of the sale and accordingly there was no impact on operating results during the third quarter of 2025.
