Unimech Aerospace and Manufacturing Limited has announced the acquisition of Hobel Bellows, a specialized manufacturer of metallic bellows and precision engineered assemblies, for an enterprise value of INR450 crores. The all-cash transaction includes a 10% holdback for one year. For the year ended March 31, 2026, Hobel Bellows reported approximately INR129 crores in revenue with EBITDA margins exceeding 50%. The acquisition is margin accretive and debt-free, with the target business generating a return on capital employed of over 50% prior to acquisition. The deal was funded through internal funds, with no additional borrowings planned. The management expects conservative growth of 15% to 17% over the next 3 to 4 years, driven by organic momentum and synergy-led opportunities. The acquisition provides Unimech with new capabilities in metal forming, hydroforming, precision pipe fabrication, and advanced welding processes, enabling expansion into engineered assemblies and subsystems.
