WESTMINSTER, MA / ACCESSWIRE / November 29, 2023 / TechPrecision Corporation (NASDAQ:TPCS) ("TechPrecision" or "the Company") today announced that it has entered into a definitive agreement (the "SPA") to purchase all of the outstanding shares of Votaw Precision Technologies, Inc. ("Votaw"). Located in Santa Fe Springs, CA, Votaw is a privately-held operating company of Doerfer Corporation ("Seller"). Upon completion of the acquisition, Votaw will become a wholly owned subsidiary of TechPrecision.

Alexander Shen, TechPrecision's Chief Executive Officer stated:

"On a consolidated basis, the Votaw acquisition will immediately more than double the Company's revenue and EBITDA, and will strategically increase TechPrecision's already established defense and aerospace presence.

Further, as part of our future strategic plan, the current Votaw facilities footprint has available space to physically merge Votaw and our STADCO subsidiary into a single location. By redeploying STADCO into the Votaw footprint, we project annual savings of several million dollars in overhead, and millions of dollars in CAPEX over the coming years.

As a leading supplier of highly engineered precision Spaceflight & Defense Hardware and Mission & Safety Critical Components, we believe Votaw is well-positioned on several leading manned and unmanned space platforms and across a number of high-profile defense and aerospace programs to have continued success and growth in these areas."
