About IDEX CORP

IDEX CORP /DE/ (ticker: IEX) is a U.S.-based industrial company listed on the NYSE in the United States. It focuses on highly engineered, mission-critical components, systems, and applied solutions for specialized end markets where reliability, precision, and safety matter. The company is headquartered in Northbrook, Illinois. IDEX was founded in 1988 from three entrepreneurial manufacturing businesses and has since evolved into a global specialty industrial platform with more than 50 businesses worldwide and manufacturing operations in more than 20 countries. ([idexcorp.com](https://idexcorp.com/about-idex/who-we-are/?utm_source=openai)) IDEX operates through three reportable segments: Health & Science Technologies (HST), Fluid & Metering Technologies (FMT), and Fire & Safety/Diversified Products (FSDP). HST serves high-precision applications spanning life sciences, semiconductors, optics, space, and defense. FMT provides fluid transfer, pumping, and metering solutions, with exposure to municipal water, chemicals, energy, and industrial markets. FSDP includes fire protection, rescue and safety equipment, and certain diversified product lines. This three-segment structure gives IDEX a diversified end-market footprint while keeping the business centered on niche, technically demanding applications. ([investors.idexcorp.com](https://investors.idexcorp.com/overview/default.aspx?utm_source=openai)) From a competitive standpoint, IDEX is differentiated by its specialization, fragmented customer base, and disciplined acquisition strategy. Management positions the company as a provider of “mission-critical solutions” in attractive, specialized markets, where engineering know-how, product qualification, and customer intimacy create meaningful barriers to entry. Rather than competing as a broad-based commodity manufacturer, IDEX tends to win by offering highly tailored components and subsystems embedded in complex industrial value chains. ([investors.idexcorp.com](https://investors.idexcorp.com/overview/default.aspx?utm_source=openai)) Recent developments reinforce that strategy. In July 2025, IDEX announced the acquisition of Micro-LAM, expanding its optical technologies and laser-assisted machining capabilities for aerospace, defense, and optics applications. The company also completed the acquisition of Mott Corporation in 2025, adding advanced filtration expertise. In its early 2026 results commentary on 2025 performance, management highlighted stronger order growth in HST driven by AI-related projects, including data center power solutions and semiconductor applications. For investors, IDEX stands out as a quality industrial compounder with long-duration exposure to structural growth themes, supported by product innovation, M&A, and broad international manufacturing reach.
