DOVER ACQUIRES ANTHONY INTERNATIONAL
Acquisition Enhances Product Breadth and Expands Markets in Refrigeration & Food
Equipment
Downers Grove, IL, November 30, 2012 - Dover Corporation (NYSE:DOV) announced
today that it has acquired Anthony International ("Anthony"), a leading
manufacturer of specialty glass, commercial glass refrigerator and freezer
doors, lighting systems, and display equipment for $602.5 million, subject to
normal closing adjustments. Based in Sylmar, California, Anthony will join the
Refrigeration and Industrial platform of Dover's Engineered Systems segment.
Anthony's leading positions in refrigeration and freezer doors, re-skinning
services, and specialty & curved glass provide food retailers with a breadth of
solutions to improve energy efficiency and enhance the consumer shopping
experience. Anthony operates globally with locations in the U.S., Italy, China
and South Africa.
Anthony's 2012 revenue is estimated to be approximately $310 million. Dover
expects this acquisition to be $0.02 dilutive to 2012 continuing earnings per
share due to integration and acquisition related costs. In 2013, Anthony will
be modestly accretive to continuing earnings per share.
"The acquisition of Anthony builds upon our strategy of deploying capital in our
five key growth spaces and brings another leading manufacturer to our Engineered
Systems segment. Anthony expands our product portfolio and enhances our service
offerings which will enable us to help our customers improve their energy
efficiency and profitability. Consistent with our growth strategy, Anthony's
global operations will allow us to leverage a worldwide customer base and open
new markets for our existing refrigeration business," said Bob Livingston,
Dover's President and Chief Executive Officer.
Tom Giacomini, President and Chief Executive Officer of Dover's Engineered
Systems segment added, "Anthony expands our portfolio of industry-leading
technology in the refrigeration space and opens up the important convenience
store market to all our product categories. Anthony is the clear leader in the
emerging 'close-the-case' business. By closing the case, or essentially
installing doors on traditional open refrigeration cases, retailers can realize
a significant improvement in their energy consumption. This compelling value
proposition leads us to believe we are at the beginning of a long conversion
cycle to closed cases."
