Graco Inc. (GGG) has completed its previously announced acquisition of Valco Cincinnati, Inc. d/b/a Valco Melton, a global provider of adhesive application and quality assurance systems, for $447 million in cash. After considering approximately $40 million in expected tax benefits, the net transaction value equates to about 14x 2025 adjusted EBITDA and roughly 10x 2026 estimated full year, synergy-adjusted EBITDA for Valco Melton.
Valco Melton, which generated about $145 million in revenue in 2025, has approximately 650 employees and serves customers in more than 80 countries. The business will be integrated into Graco’s Industrial segment, expanding Graco’s presence in precision adhesive dispensing and inspection technologies and broadening its global reach in packaging and other industrial manufacturing applications.

Diluted EPS was $0.87 versus $0.76, and operating margin expanded to 29.6% of sales. Results reflected higher pricing and $9 million of IEEPA tariff refunds, partially offset by lower organic volume and lower-margin contributions from acquisitions.

Contractor and Industrial segments delivered higher sales supported by acquisitions and tariff refunds, while Expansion Markets posted modest sales changes by region and maintained a 23% operating margin.
