Benefits From Acquisitions : Ingersoll Rand completed the acquisition of Air Power Systems Co., LLC ("APSCO"), Blutek s.r.l. and UT Pumps & Systems Private Limited in October 2024. The buyout of APSCO will enable the company to boost its position in the dry and liquid bulk markets with energy-efficient solutions. With the Blutek buyout, IR will be able to enhance its competitiveness in high-specification projects by adding technology capabilities, expertise and aftermarket opportunities in fast-growing markets like biogas and carbon capture. The acquisition of UT Pumps will enhance its product portfolio with new pump technology. In June 2024, the company acquired ILC Dover.
