Adam Norwitt. “CommScope provides mobile networks solutions, with advanced technologies in the areas of base station antennas and related interconnect solutions, as well as distributed antenna systems. In particular, we are encouraged that the businesses we are acquiring make up the former Andrew Corporation portfolio of products, a company with a rich history of innovation and technology leadership in the wireless industry. We look forward to supporting customers who are developing next-generation wireless networks around the world with these advanced solutions as well as our own existing complementary products. Finally, this acquisition further supports Amphenol’s long-term growth and balanced end market exposure across all areas of the electronics market.”
Amphenol expects to finance the acquisition through a combination of cash on hand and debt. Subject to the receipt of customary regulatory approvals and other closing conditions, the deal is expected to close in the first half of 2025.
Amphenol looks forward to discussing the acquisition when the Company reports second quarter 2024 earnings on July 24, 2024.
