Our Portfolio
The following disclosure supersedes and replaces fourth and fifth paragraphs under the section “Our Portfolio — Milton Industries—Growth Opportunities” which first appears on page 101 of the Prospectus.
Growth Opportunities. We believe the following are key growth opportunities for Milton: (i) additional growth in existing markets, (ii) new product development, (iii) e-commerce and digital marketing initiatives and (iv) strategic acquisitions.
Milton completed four add-on acquisitions during 2021 and 2020, including GH Meiser & Co., Milton’s Bells, Zeeline, and Global-Flex. We believe these add-on acquisitions bolster Milton’s tire gauge, grease and fluid handling, hose assemblies, rubber expansion and metal expansion joints, “PTFE” products and pump connectors product lines. In March 2022, Milton acquired Thunder Technologies which specializes in critical and demanding hose, rubber and expansion joint applications. Additionally, in July 2022, Milton acquired Lock Technology which provides specialty tools to the automotive end market. Additionally, in December 2022, Milton acquired ProMax Tool which designs and manufactures proprietary on-the-vehicle exhaust manifold repair kits and other specialty tools. These acquisitions further Milton’s strategy of both growing organically and through M&A.
