ESCO Technologies Inc. (NYSE: ESE) has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Megger Group Limited from TBG AG for a total consideration of $2.35 billion. The transaction structure comprises $0.9 billion in cash and $1.4 billion in ESCO common stock issued to the seller. Upon completion, Megger will join ESCO’s Utility Solution Group segment, bringing its expertise in testing, monitoring, and data solutions specifically for utilities and infrastructure companies. This strategic acquisition is designed to significantly expand ESCO's portfolio within the global electrical testing and measurement industry.
