Columbus McKinnon Corp
Columbus McKinnon makes equipment that helps factories, warehouses, construction crews, and utilities lift, move, position, and secure heavy loads. Its core products include hoists, cranes, rigging hardware, chain, wire rope, and related lifting devices. The company also sells motion control and automation products used when customers need precise movement rather than just simple lifting. It sells mainly to industrial customers, distributors, and equipment builders that need safe, reliable material handling tools. Buyers use Columbus McKinnon’s products in manufacturing plants, job sites, shipping operations, and maintenance work. The company makes money by selling these products through a mix of direct sales, distributors, and original equipment customers, and it also earns service and replacement-part revenue tied to installed equipment. What makes the business different is that it sits in a critical but behind-the-scenes part of industry: moving heavy things safely and accurately. Customers usually buy these products because downtime, safety, and load control matter more than low price alone. That gives Columbus McKinnon a role as a specialized supplier whose products are often built into long-lived industrial workflows and equipment.

Kito Crosby Acquisition: Columbus McKinnon closed its transformative acquisition of Kito Crosby, which will double the company’s revenue base and bring significant expected cost synergies.
Strong Quarter: The company reported double-digit growth in sales, orders, EPS, and backlog, with net sales of $258.7 million, up 10.5% year-over-year.
Profitability & Margins: Adjusted EBITDA was $39.8 million (15.4% margin), and adjusted EPS rose 11% to $0.62. Gross margin was pressured by mix and tariffs.
Order Growth: Orders increased 11% to $247 million, led by 15% growth in the U.S., reflecting strength in automation, e-commerce, and industrial sectors.
Guidance Withdrawn: Prior stand-alone guidance was withdrawn due to the timing of Kito Crosby acquisition and a pending divestiture; new guidance to be issued next year.
Synergy & Deleveraging Focus: $70 million in cost synergies are targeted, with 20% expected in year 1, 60% in year 2, and full realization in year 3. Significant free cash flow is expected to reduce net leverage below 4x by fiscal 2028.
U.S. vs. EMEA Trends: U.S. demand is robust with strong order growth, while EMEA remains soft with slower order conversion.
