ESAB Corporation has closed its acquisition of Eddyfi Technologies, extending its fabrication-focused equipment lineup into non-destructive testing instrumentation, automated inspection robotics, and remote asset monitoring.
Eddyfi builds instruments and software for phased array ultrasonic testing, eddy current array inspection, and other electromagnetic NDT methods, along with remotely operated robotics for assets in confined or hard-to-access locations. The company serves customers in more than 110 countries, across sectors including aerospace, nuclear power, oil and gas, civil infrastructure, defense, and transportation.
What's new here is the coverage gap ESAB is closing: its catalog has historically ended where a weld or fabricated component is finished. Eddyfi's portfolio picks up at that point, verifying structural integrity rather than creating structure. For facilities that already source cutting or welding equipment from ESAB, the combined entity opens a potential single-vendor path through both halves of the manufacturing-to-inspection workflow.
ESAB President and CEO Shyam Kambeyanda described inspection and monitoring as "a mission-critical market" with "an impressive long-term runway for compounding growth at attractive margins." Jeff Anderson, President of Eddyfi Technologies, said ESAB's global resources will allow the company to move faster without changing its products or customer commitments.
ESAB's second-quarter results will include one month of Eddyfi's financial contribution, which was not reflected in the full-year outlook issued on May 7. Updated guidance covering the full impact of the acquisition is expected on the Q2 earnings call. No deal price was disclosed.
