NEW YORK & ZUG, Switzerland, October 22, 2026--KKR, a leading global investment firm, today announced the agreement to acquire the Explosion Protection and Static Control segments from HOERBIGER, a diversified technology company headquartered in Switzerland with operations worldwide.

KKR is investing in IEP and Newson Gale through its Global Impact Strategy, which is focused on identifying and investing behind opportunities where financial performance and societal impact are intrinsically aligned. IEP and Newson Gale's solutions help prevent and mitigate industrial explosion risks, protecting workers worldwide.

"IEP Technologies and Newson Gale provide essential safety solutions that help protect people, facilities and operations across a wide range of industries," said Kyle Matter, Managing Director and Head of North America Global Impact at KKR. "We have been impressed by the team's deep technical expertise and commitment to their customers and, following closing, see meaningful opportunities to build on this strong foundation through investment in new capabilities and expansion opportunities."

Randy Davis, Head of the Safety Business Unit of HOERBIGER, said, "Over the past years, we have built strong expertise, deep customer relationships and a solid platform for growth. We are convinced that, following completion of the transaction, IEP Technologies and Newson Gale will have additional opportunities and resources to further strengthen their expertise to develop their respective businesses."

Thorsten Kahlert, CEO and Chairman of the Executive Board of HOERBIGER, said, "This transaction marks an important step in the ongoing evolution of HOERBIGER's portfolio. We are proud of what the Safety team has achieved over the past decade. Following completion of the transaction, IEP Technologies and Newson Gale will be well positioned to accelerate their development. At the same time, the divestiture will enable HOERBIGER to focus even more closely on its core businesses and future growth opportunities."
