Consolidation continues in PPE market: Honeywell intends to purchase Sperian for $1.4 billion (5/24)

Honeywell and Sperian Protection announced last week Honeywell’s intent to acquire through a binding sale agreement with Essilor and Mrs. Ginette Dalloz and through the launch of an all-cash tender offer all outstanding shares of Sperian Protection with an aggregate transaction value of approximately USD $1.4 billion, including the assumption of net debt, according to a Honeywell press release.

Sperian Protection is a leader in personal protection equipment (PPE) design and manufacturing and will be combined within Honeywell’s Automation and Control Solutions’ Life Safety business.

“Sperian is an ideal fit to add to Honeywell’s great position in the growing PPE industry,” said Roger Fradin, President and CEO of Honeywell Automation and Control Solutions. “It has one of the most recognizable brand portfolios in the industry (Howard Leieght hearing protection; Uvex eyewear; Miller fall protection) and a top-tier global customer base, and we have a great deal of respect for the Sperian leadership team and business. The company has built an impressive track record of long-term growth while continuing to invest in its future through R&D and global acquisitions. Like Honeywell, Sperian develops differentiated new products that customers demand. Combined with our Norcross acquisition in 2008, we are building a global leader in the fast-growing PPE industry, with worldwide distribution capabilities to deliver the highest quality products in both developed and emerging regions. This represents a terrific opportunity to once again derive value from our stellar acquisition integration process.”
