    Materion Corporation has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Optics Balzers AG, a specialist in thin film optical coatings.
     
    Optics Balzers maintains a strong European presence with two R&D and manufacturing locations in Liechtenstein and Germany. In addition, Optics Balzers recently launched a manufacturing facility in Malaysia which has been a key enabler for growth in Asia.
     
    With this acquisition, Materion further accelerates its transformation into a global advanced materials solutions provider and significantly expands its geographic reach, extending beyond its core of North America to include Europe and Asia. Complementary technologies across the electromagnetic spectrum boost the capabilities of the combined thin film optical coatings portfolio and position Materion to capitalize on key megatrends in the areas of life science, consumer, and industrial.
     
    “We have long held a deep amount of respect and appreciation for the Optics Balzers business. Their technical capabilities, product portfolio, end market, and geographic mix, combined with their talented leadership team, make them the ideal partner to accelerate our global growth. The combination creates a global industry leader in optical thin film coating solutions,” stated Jugal Vijayvargiya, president and CEO.
     
    Dr. Detlev Häusler, CEO of Optics Balzers, added, “We are extremely excited to partner with Materion to create this strategic combination to fully leverage the growth potential across all of the markets we serve. Our combined global reach, technical capabilities, and in-house talent should create tremendous value for our customers and expand opportunities for our employees.”
     
    The transaction is valued at approximately $160 million and represents an enterprise multiple of 12x on a TTM basis and 8x pro forma for synergies. Closing is planned for the third quarter of 2020, subject to regulatory clearance.
