Branford Castle Partners Electrifies with Test and Measurement Platform Bolt-on

NEW YORK, April 14, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Branford Castle Partners announced today the acquisition of MTI Instruments, Inc. of Albany, New York, by Branford's portfolio company, Vitrek, LLC.

The acquisition of MTI expands Vitrek's line of electronic test and measurement products with the addition of MTI's market-leading jet engine balancing systems, signal generators and precision metrology devices. The transaction also broadens Vitrek's relationships with blue-chip aerospace, defense, semiconductor and renewable energy customers around the world.

With Branford's help, Vitrek has completed three bolt-on acquisitions, significantly expanding its capabilities and more than tripling its revenues.

Vitrek's CEO, Don Millstein, observed, "We're excited to continue to build the Vitrek team and to add MTI's great products to our offerings. We expect that our dedication to providing exceptional test and measurement equipmen will deliver increasing value for our customers."

Vitrek is a portfolio company of Branford's 2016 Vintage Branford Castle Fund and is true to Branford's philosophy of buying businesses in defensible niche markets. It is also helping them to thrive by providing focused resources that achieve both organic and acquisition-related growth.

As noted by David Castle, Branford's Managing Partner, "It has been exciting working with Don and the Vitrek team to find great bolt-ons like DynamicSignals, with its esteemed Gage and Signatec product lines, and now MTI Instruments. The core Vitrek business has significantly expanded organically under Don's leadership, and MTI will further augment its suite of products and services."
