Barnes Announces Completion of Previously Announced Sale of Associated Spring™ and Hänggi™ Businesses

April 4, 2024

BRISTOL, Conn., — Barnes Group Inc. (NYSE: B) today announced the completion of its previously announced sale of its Associated Spring™ and Hänggi™ businesses to One Equity Partners.

“The sale of Associated Spring and Hänggi businesses is an important step in our ongoing portfolio optimization strategy to deliver improved shareholder value,” said President and CEO Thomas Hook. “This divestiture forwards our progress to integrate, consolidate and rationalize our Industrial business, while our recent acquisition of MB Aerospace greatly scales our Aerospace business. Continued execution of our strategy will make Barnes a more focused and competitive company on a path to accelerate profitable growth.”

The purchase price was $175 million, subject to customary closing adjustments, of which approximately $21 million will be paid upon completion of the transfer of certain foreign assets, in lieu of a previously contemplated seller promissory note. Net cash proceeds of approximately $140 million will be used to reduce debt.
