These acquisitions bring additional manufacturing capacity to CMTH, and their advanced CNC equipment run by talented machinists enhances the capabilities of the CMTH family of companies. The acquisitions benefit both Waiteco and Specialty by providing access to capital, supporting their continued growth, and last but not least, further growth opportunities and enhanced benefits for our most valued assets – our employees. Both transactions were closed simultaneously on August 14, 2020. Details of the transactions were not disclosed.

Sean Lafferty, CFO of CMTH, noted, “We are excited to have Waiteco and Specialty CNC join our team. Both companies have talented management and staff, and we look forward to helping them grow and further develop their businesses”.

Elie Azar, a Managing Director and CEO of White Wolf, noted, “We are really excited to partner with the talented folks at Waiteco and Specialty and look forward to supporting their continued growth. With the additions of Waiteco and Specialty to the CMTH family, CMTH has closed on five add-on acquisitions this year alone. We are enthusiastic about CMTH’s continued growth and what this means for our employees and customers.”
