Graham Corporation<\/a> (NYSE: GHM) (\u201cGHM\u201d or \u201cthe Company\u201d), a global leader in the design and manufacture of mission-critical fluid, power, heat transfer and vacuum technologies for the Defense, Energy & Process, and Space markets, today announced the acquisition of certain specified assets of Xdot Bearing Technologies (\u201cXdot\u201d), a specialized consulting, design and engineering firm focused on foil bearing technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\nXdot has developed and patented a breakthrough foil bearing design that delivers superior performance while lowering development and production costs. Xdot\u2019s innovative technology and products expands capabilities within Barber-Nichols (\u201cBN\u201d), Graham\u2019s wholly owned subsidiary, and is complementary to its existing product portfolio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
By combining Xdot\u2019s foil bearing technology with BN\u2019s turbomachinery expertise, we expect to significantly expand our ability to design and deliver high-speed rotating machines into new markets and applications. Additionally, Xdot\u2019s technology, know-how, and product offerings positions BN to accelerate growth in high-performance markets with advanced pumps and compressors, strengthening its presence across aerospace & defense, energy transition, and numerous industrial applications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Michael E. Dixon, Vice President and General Manager of Barber-Nichols, commented \u201cLong-life and reliability are critical to the next generation of high-speed rotating machines, and the acquisition of Xdot\u2019s technology, know-how, and product offerings provides Barber-Nichols with unique, patented technologies that will strengthen our ability to serve customers across key end markets. While Xdot adds additional technology, it also enables us to expand our portfolio of high-speed pumps and compressors into applications where we expect growing demand. We are excited to welcome the Xdot team to Barber-Nichols and look forward to building on their deep technical expertise.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Xdot will be integrated into the BN business, reinforcing its leadership in engineered solutions that support critical missions and the energy transition. Additionally, BN will continue to support Xdot customers with bearing supply, but now under BN\u2019s ISO9001 and AS9100 quality systems. Dr. Erik Swanson, Founder, President, and Chief Engineer of Xdot is a world renowned expert in foil bearing analysis, application, and fabrication and will join the BN team upon closing. Xdot has annual sales of approximately $1 million and is expected to be slightly accretive to the Company\u2019s fiscal year 2026 GAAP net income.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
