January 9, 2015 by

06 Jan 15. CIRCOR International, Inc. (NYSE: CIR), a leading provider of valves and other highly engineered products for markets including oil & gas, power generation and aerospace & defense, announced the divestiture of two of its non-strategic businesses. Terms were not disclosed.
Sagebrush Pipeline Equipment Company, part of the Energy segment, has been sold through a management buyout agreement. Based in Tulsa, Oklahoma, Sagebrush primarily provides engineering, design, and fabrication of custom skids for measurement, control, and operation of oil and gas pipelines. Within its Aerospace & Defense segment, CIRCOR has completed the sale of Cambridge Fluid Systems (CFS) to HAM-LET (Israel-Canada) Ltd. CFS, located in the United Kingdom, is a full-service provider of fabricated control systems for semiconductor and LED manufacturing industries. For 2014, CIRCOR expects Sagebrush and CFS revenues of approximately $41m and $12m, respectively, with mid-single digit adjusted operating margins resulting in an aggregate contribution of approximately $0.10 to $0.12 per diluted share for both businesses.
“Divesting Sagebrush and CFS is consistent with our simplification strategy and enables us to focus our resources on businesses where we have the best opportunities to achieve sales growth, higher margins, and market leadership,” said Scott Buckhout, CIRCOR’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “We continue to execute on our top priorities: growth, margin expansion, cash flow and disciplined capital deployment.” (Source: Yahoo!/BUSINESS WIRE)

He said the company is looking to enhance its industrial footprint and develop talent in the sector to initiate innovation which will further its growth strategy. “We have identified over 50 offset partners in India. Some of those we are currently working with, for various projects, include HAL and BEL among others”, he said. The defence equipment maker said it will closely follow the requirements of the Indian armed forces and participate in all relevant opportunities that will come up. “Some of these projects are in the area of combat aircraft; ground-based air defence systems; ground, ship and airborne sensors; tactical communication and avionics”, Caput said. The company is also eyeing deals in the civil aerospace, security and transportation domain. In late August last year, the company entered into a JV with Bharat Electronics Ltd (BEL) where it holds 26 percent equity. (Source: Google/ Indo-Asian News Service)
