Brady Corporation agreed to acquire Honeywell’s Productivity Solutions and Services (PSS) business for $1.4 billion in cash. PSS provides mobile computers, barcode scanners, printing and software, generated about $1.1 billion of 2025 sales, and has roughly 3,000 employees worldwide.
The deal, valued at about 8x PSS’s EBITDA for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025, is expected to be immediately double-digit accretive to Brady’s adjusted diluted EPS. Brady targets at least $25 million in annual run-rate cost synergies within three years and additional revenue synergies from cross-selling.
Brady will fund the purchase with cash and new debt, backed by a $1.8 billion bridge commitment from BMO Capital Markets, implying net debt-to-EBITDA of about 2.5x after closing, with a goal to delever below 2.0x within two years. Closing is expected in the second half of 2026, subject to regulatory and other customary conditions, and Honeywell will be restricted from competing with the PSS business for four years after closing.
