CCMP completes acquisition of BOC Edwards

CCMP Capital has completed its acquisition of BOC Edwards, a manufacturer of vacuum equipment used in a wide variety of high technology industries, from The Linde Group. This marks BOC Edwards' return to independent status almost 40 years after it was acquired by BOC.

BOC Edwards supplies equipment and services to industries including semiconductor, flat panel display, chemical, metallurgical, analytical instrumentation and R&D. It supplies customers in Asia, Europe and the Americas through a worldwide manufacturing and sales network. Its turnover in 2006 was over US$1billion.

"In the last 40 years our business has grown out of all recognition," said Nigel Hunton, CEP of BOC Edwards. "We feel that our return to independent status, with a strong partner in CCMP, makes us well placed for success as we transition to our next phase of development."
