TriMas Completes Sale of Its Arrow Engine Business

BLOOMFIELD HILLS, Mich.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- TriMas (NASDAQ: TRS) today announced the successful completion of the previously announced sale of its Arrow Engine business, thereby exiting its direct presence in the oil and gas market sector. The sale was finalized with IES Infrastructure Solutions LLC, a division of IES Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: IESC), and a provider of electrical and mechanical apparatus services, custom steel fabrication and custom-engineered solutions, including generator enclosures and bus systems to customers both in the United States and abroad. The transaction closed on January 31, 2025.

“Founded in 1955, Arrow Engine was a legacy TriMas business and part of the TriMas portfolio for several decades,” said Thomas Amato, TriMas President and Chief Executive Officer. “We are pleased to place this business with IES Infrastructure Solutions, the right partner to take Arrow Engine to the next level. This move is another important step in optimizing TriMas’ business portfolio.”

Arrow Engine is a provider of natural gas-powered engines, typically used in remote applications such as for oil field pump jacks, compressors and replacement parts, which are engineered for use in oil and natural gas production and other industrial markets. Arrow Engine distributes its products through a worldwide distribution network, primarily focused on the United States and Canada. Arrow Engine manufactures its own engine line and also offers a wide variety of spare parts for various industrial engines not manufactured by Arrow Engine. Arrow Engine, with an estimated 2024 revenue of approximately $20 million, will become part of IES’s Infrastructure Solutions segment and continue to operate under the Arrow name.

“We would like to thank the Arrow Engine management team for its contributions to TriMas and its leadership throughout the sale process. We remain committed to ensuring a smooth transition to IES Infrastructure Solutions, while continuing to deliver the highest level of service to Arrow Engine’s customers,” concluded Amato.

Woodward Park Partners acted as exclusive financial advisor and led the sale process, while Holland & Knight served as outside legal counsel for TriMas.

As a result of this transaction’s successful completion, the 2025 segment reporting for Specialty Products will include only Norris Cylinder’s financial performance, along with one month of Arrow Engine’s results.
