Building on an established foundation

在既定基础上构建

The agreement to acquire Nycom represents an important step in Kewaunee's long-term growth strategy. Over the past seven years, the Company has focused on strengthening its domestic operations and investing in capabilities to support continued growth. During this period, Kewaunee has also developed its international business into a provider of fully-integrated laboratory solutions in key markets abroad.

That experience confirmed the value of connecting technical expertise with local project delivery, an approach Kewaunee intends to further develop in North America..

该经验证实了将专业技术与本地项目交付相结合的价值，凯瓦尼公司打算在北美进一步发展这一方法。

The recent formation of the Company's Lab Products Group brought Kewaunee, NuAire, and EVERHUTCH together under a coordinated operating structure, expanding the Company's laboratory product offering. The addition of Nycom is intended to complement these capabilities with an established distribution and installation business, further advancing Kewaunee's diversified operating model..

A platform for continuity and disciplined growth

一个致力于持续性与稳健增长的平台

Kewaunee's long-term distribution strategy includes both company-owned businesses and independent partners. The Company intends to build on Nycom's capabilities to address significant opportunities for continued expansion in North America, including among successful regional businesses whose owners are considering succession.

基沃尼的长期分销战略包括自有业务和独立合作伙伴。公司打算依托 Nycom 的能力，把握北美地区持续扩张的重大机遇，其中包括那些所有者正考虑继任安排的成功区域企业。

The Company believes it can offer these businesses a long-term home that respects the relationships they have built while providing resources to support their future. Kewaunee intends to remain highly selective, focusing on businesses that strengthen the Company and justify the investment required..

本公司相信，它能够为企业提供一个长期稳定的归属，在尊重其既有合作关系的同时，提供资源以支持其未来发展。Kewaunee 将继续保持高度选择性，专注于那些能够增强公司实力并证明所需投资合理性的业务。

与此同时，独立经销商和分销合作伙伴仍将是 Kewaunee 战略的重要组成部分。公司打算在寻求通过自有业务实现扩张的机会的同时，继续支持这些合作关系。

'We have tremendous respect for the businesses and people who have helped build this industry,' Hull said. 'Our goal is to bring strong businesses into Kewaunee and give them the resources to become even better, while preserving the relationships and expertise that made them successful. We will be thoughtful in our approach and grow at a pace that allows us to deliver lasting value for our shareholders.'.

“我们对那些帮助构建这一行业的企业和个人怀有崇高的敬意，”赫尔表示。“我们的目标是将优质企业引入基沃尼，并为它们提供资源，使其更上一层楼，同时保留使它们取得成功的关系网络和专业专长。我们将以审慎的方式推进，并以能够为股东创造持久价值的速度实现增长。”
