PITTSBURGH, PA, USA, Jun 9, 2025 – Kennametal Inc. (NYSE: KMT) announced that it has completed the sale of its business in Goshen, IN.
“This portfolio action is an important step toward improving our overall sales mix, reducing material cost volatility and focusing our resources on long-term strategic priorities that create greater value for all our stakeholders,” said Kennametal President & CEO Sanjay Chowbey.
Kennametal received $19 million from the transaction upon closing, resulting in an immaterial pre-tax loss. The proceeds are subject to customary post-closing adjustments as well as an EBITDA-based earn-out opportunity for Kennametal at the end of a three-year period. The Company expects to use the proceeds for general corporate purposes. The Goshen subsidiary was sold to a Chicago-based private equity firm.
The Goshen subsidiary, known as Kennametal Stellite, L.P., serves the surface coating and welding products markets in Kennametal’s Infrastructure segment and represents less than 2% of Kennametal’s total sales and is immaterial to Kennametal’s profitability.
