The action supports the company's efforts to expand its core businesses through internal growth initiatives and acquisitions. "The proceeds from this transaction will enable EnPro to grow in core areas where we hold stronger and more competitive market positions and have a larger set of viable options," said EnPro CEO, Steve Macadam. EnPro, which has headquarters in Charlotte, N.C., estimates a pre-tax gain of about $140 million in the first quarter of 2010.

Quincy was founded in the 1920s and is headquartered in Bay Minette, Alabama. It has manufacturing facilities in Bay Minette, Quincy, Illinois, and in Kunshan, China. "For Atlas Copco, this acquisition offers interesting synergies in both product design and supply chain management, while adding a strong brand for our continued growth," said Stephan Kuhn, business area president at Atlas Copco Compressor Technique. The deal is expected to close in the first quarter of 2010. Shares of EnPro rose $1, or 4.3 percent, to $24.53 in morning trading.
