Materials engineering company Luxfer has entered into a definitive agreement to be acquired by affiliates of US investment firm Wynnchurch Capital in an all-cash transaction valued at $17.37 per share.
The transaction is expected to close by the end of 2026, subject to the necessary approvals. Until then, Luxfer will continue operating its business and executing its strategic priorities.
Brian Riordan, Managing Director at Wynnchurch, said Wynnchurch sees opportunities to invest in innovation, operational excellence, automation, capacity expansion, and commercial growth across both of Luxfer’s segments.
The deal comes against the backdrop of weaker financial results for Luxfer, with Q2 2026 GAAP net sales dropping by 10.3% compared to Q2 2025, decreasing from $106.6m to $95.7m.
Results from Q1 2026 showed a similar pattern, with GAAP net sales down 13.5% from Q1 2025, decreasing from $97m to $83.9m.
Luxfer reported a 12.3% decrease in Q4 2025 GAAP net sales, compared to Q4 2024, decreasing from $103.4m to $90.7m.
In Q4 2025, Luxfer also reported a GAAP net income of $0.1m, compared to $3.3m in Q4 2024, representing a dramatic fall of approximately 97%.
Across 2025, GAAP net sales dipped by 1.9% to $384.6m compared to $391.9m in the full year of 2024. GAAP net income also decreased by 28.4% year-on-year.
Luxfer manufactures advanced materials for the aerospace, defence, and industrial end markets.
