Fluke Networks Agrees to Acquire the Access Test and Management and Portable Test Equipment and Tools groups of Harris Corporation
EVERETT, Washington, May 10, 2004 – Fluke Networks, one of the Danaher (NYSE:DHR) family of companies, announced today that it has entered into a definitive agreement to purchase Camarillo, CA-based operations of Harris Corporation for approximately $50 million in cash. The closing of the transaction is subject to certain customary conditions and is expected shortly.
The Camarillo, CA- based operations of Harris Corporation include the Access Test and Management and Portable Test Equipment and Tools groups. These groups deliver many well known and highly successful handheld test and measurement solutions for telecom technicians including butt sets, specialty tools, toners and probes.
“The acquisition of these successful product lines is an excellent, complementary fit for Fluke Networks as we position ourselves for leadership in the telecom/outside plant test market,” said Chris Odell, Fluke Networks president. “We can now serve our telecom customers with everything from mission-critical Operation Support Systems (OSS) solutions, to tools that meet the everyday needs of the field technicians.”
“We are looking forward to becoming an important part of an organization that is clearly intent on focusing on our telecom market,” said Thomas J. Erdmann, vice president of the Camarillo operations for Harris. “We see tremendous opportunity for expanded sales of our tools and test set lines through Fluke Networks, especially internationally.”
“Combining the strengths of Harris’ Camarillo operations with Fluke Networks’ successful and complementary industry leading solutions will better enable us to deliver true operational savings and process improvement to telecom customers in a time when they need these types of solutions the most,” said Ed Sztuka, Director of Fluke Networks’ Outside Plant Business Unit, into which the Camarillo operation will merge. “We can now provide increased benefits and capabilities to customers in three main areas: better and more cost effective maintenance of the local loop; more fully integrated reactive troubleshooting and repair of the local loop; and more efficient telecom processes focused on the access network.”
