DXP Enterprises, Inc. (NASDAQ: DXPE) today announced that

Founded in 1987, Pro-Seal is headquartered in Pontiac, Michigan and
operates out of two locations servicing the Great Lakes Region of
the U.S. and all of Alaska.
Pro-Seal is a leading distributor of pumping systems, fluid
sealing and related seal support systems and other industrial
pumping equipment and services and lubricants. DXP funded the
acquisition with cash from the balance sheet.
“We are pleased to announce the acquisition of Pro-Seal and
welcome the employees of Pro-Seal to the DXP team. With Pro-Seal,
we continue to build on our strategy of providing a breadth of
technical products and services on the regional and local level.
With the closing of Pro-Seal, we have started fiscal 2024 with
three acquisitions and each company provides DXP with exceptional
management teams that enhance our ability to collaborate and serve
our customers, vendors, and other stakeholders. These acquisitions
are consistent with our growth strategy and demonstrate our
commitment to expanding DXP as well as maintaining our leading
position as the largest distributor of rotating equipment in North
America,” commented David Little, Chairman, and Chief Executive
Officer of DXP.
The signing of the definitive agreement occurred on March 1,
2024. Sales and adjusted EBITDA for Pro-Seal for the last twelve
months ending December 31, 2023, were approximately $19.9 million
and $1.5 million, respectively. Adjusted EBITDA was calculated as
income before tax, plus interest, plus depreciation and
amortization, plus non-recurring items.
"Pro-Seal will provide DXP with additional geographic territory
and enhanced end market mix. Pro-Seal is a unique, well-run
business focused on providing value-added service to its
customers," added David Little.
Kent Yee, Chief Financial Officer, stated "Pro-Seal complements
DXP’s end markets and provides entry into a geographic region we
have not historically served as well as adding scale for us in
Alaska. Pro-Seal’s local market expertise combined with DXP’s size
and scale will help us provide better customer solutions. We
anticipate this acquisition to be accretive to earnings and further
expand our Rotating Equipment division. This transaction will be
positive for Pro-Seal and DXP’s customers, employees, and
shareholders."
