XP Power acquires Comdel

XP Power has acquired Comdel, a US-based designer and manufacturer of radio frequency (RF) power supplies. The $23 million deal expands XP Power’s product offering into RF power, complementing its range of AC-DC and DC-DC power supplies.

Comdel will become the RF Power Division of XP Power and Comdel’s CEO, Scott Johnson, will remain with the business to head up the new division.

The deal brings a number of new customers to XP Power, particularly in the photovoltaic and induction heating industries.

Commenting on the acquisition Duncan Penny, Chief Executive of XP Power, said: "The acquisition will enable us to provide our existing customers with a comprehensive product offering in RF power, a market segment with robust demand fundamentals but one in which we did not previously specialise."
