Distribution M&A remains active in 2026, but buyers are becoming more selective about the businesses they pursue and the attributes that warrant premium valuations.
Distribution M&A Pulse – Q2 2026
M&A activity continued to strengthen in Q2 2026, with U.S. transaction volume rising to 70 deals, up 7.7 percent year-over-year and above 2025 averages.
Flow Control Market Update Q1 2026
The flow control industry continues to experience robust consolidation activity, driven by companies seeking greater scale, expanded geographic reach, and broader product offerings.
