Modine to acquire AbsolutAire, expands HVAC offerings

RACINE, Wis. - Modine Manufacturing Company (NYSE: MOD), a leader in thermal management technology and solutions with a market capitalization of $4.25 billion, has announced its definitive agreement to acquire AbsolutAire, a Michigan-based manufacturer of direct-fired heating, ventilation, and make-up air systems. The transaction is expected to close on April 1, 2025, pending customary closing conditions.

This strategic move is expected to bolster Modine’s Heating and Indoor Air Quality businesses by adding AbsolutAire’s products to its portfolio. AbsolutAire reported revenues of approximately $25 million in 2024, a modest addition to Modine’s trailing twelve-month revenue of $2.54 billion. The acquisition is anticipated to support Modine’s expansion into commercial, industrial, food service, and warehousing markets. These sectors are currently experiencing growth due to rigorous HVAC and air quality management standards. According to InvestingPro analysis, Modine maintains a healthy financial position with a current ratio of 1.87, indicating strong ability to fund growth initiatives.

Neil Brinker, President and Chief Executive Officer of Modine, remarked that the acquisition aligns with the company’s strategy to enhance its technology offerings and capitalize on market opportunities propelled by strong demand for specialized and sustainable air management systems.

Modine, which prides itself on engineering cleaner and healthier environments, will integrate AbsolutAire into its Heating & Schools IAQ product group within the Climate Solutions segment. This integration is expected to provide Modine with access to a wider customer base and reinforce its high-performance air quality solutions.

The company, headquartered in Racine, Wisconsin, has a global presence with over 11,000 employees and operates across North America, South America, Europe, and Asia. Modine is committed to improving air quality, conserving natural resources, and reducing energy and water consumption through its Climate Solutions and Performance Technologies segments. With EBITDA of $358.4 million in the last twelve months, the company has demonstrated strong operational performance.
