Rotork plc
Bolt-on acquisition of a leading South Korean electric actuator manufacturer
Rotork plc ("Rotork"), the market-leading global provider of mission-critical intelligent flow control solutions, announces that it has agreed to acquire Noah Actuation (Noah) for an enterprise value of £44m.
Noah is a leading South Korean manufacturer of electric actuators. Headquartered in Seoul, Noah employs around 80 people and aligns with Rotork's end markets and key target segments, especially with Water & Power, Chemical, Process & Industrial and upstream electrification within Oil & Gas. Noah expands Rotork's geographical coverage in Asia Pacific and the Group's electric actuator product range. Noah was previously privately owned.
Rotork estimates that Noah will deliver revenue and adjusted EBITDA of £17.5m and £3.5m respectively in the twelve months to December 2025.
The acquisition is being financed from Rotork's cash and existing committed borrowing facilities and is expected to close in the coming days.
Commenting on the acquisition, Kiet Huynh, Rotork's Chief Executive Officer, said:
"I am excited to welcome Noah to the Rotork family. The bolt-on Noah acquisition is consistent with Rotork's Growth+ strategy and is complementary to our product offering in electric actuators. The combination of Noah's products with Rotork's international sales network offers the potential for significant sales synergies in the medium term."
