Transcat, Inc. (Nasdaq: TRNS) (“Transcat” or the “Company”), a leading distributor of professional grade handheld test and measurement instruments and accredited provider of calibration, repair and weighing system services, announced today that it has completed the acquisition of substantially all of the assets of CMC Instrument Services, Inc (“CMC”). The purchase was an all cash transaction although terms were not disclosed. The acquisition further expands Transcat’s presence in the Rochester, New York calibration services market.
CMC has been servicing customers in Western New York since 1995. Their primary focus has been dimensional calibration and repair. Chris Morse, CMC’s Founder and President will join Transcat working in the Company’s Rochester location.
Charles P. Hadeed, President, CEO and COO of Transcat, commented, “Our strategy is to grow our calibration and repair services business both organically and through acquisitions by targeting our current geographic markets where we can consolidate services and gain scale or that extend our geographic reach.
“We are pleased to have Chris join our team. Transcat intends to build on the high quality reputation that CMC has established with its customers by providing a much broader range of calibration capabilities both in our lab and at the customers’ locations.”
