Ingersoll Rand Inc. (NYSE:IR), a global provider of mission-critical flow creation and industrial solutions, has acquired Dosatron International L.L.C. and Dilution Solutions L.L.C. (collectively, "Dosatron International") for an all-cash upfront purchase price of approximately $90 million, with additional future consideration of up to $15 million.


Based in Clearwater, Fla., Dosatron International is a leading technology solutions provider of water powered dosing pumps and systems in North America, with an established presence in attractive end markets including hydroponics, horticulture, animal health, food safety and sanitation, and water treatment.
