In a strategic move set to reshape the industrial process technology sector, Chart Industries and Flowserve Corporation announced on June 4, 2025, that they will merge in an all-stock transaction, forming a combined company valued at approximately $19 billion. This merger of equals brings together two highly complementary businesses to create a global leader in flow and thermal management solutions.
The newly combined entity will boast an extensive installed base of over 5.5 million assets across more than 50 countries, offering a comprehensive platform that spans the full customer lifecycle—from process design to mission-critical equipment, aftermarket support, and digital monitoring solutions. With combined last twelve months (LTM) revenue of $8.8 billion, the new company is set to make a significant impact across a wide array of high-growth industries, including energy, power generation, chemical processing, data centers, and carbon capture.
At the heart of this merger is a shared commitment to delivering world-class technologies and services. Chart’s expertise in cryogenic, thermal, and specialty solutions blends seamlessly with Flowserve’s core strengths in flow management, including pumps, valves, and seals. This merger creates a differentiated industrial technology platform that is expected to enhance performance, increase predictability through market cycles, and expand customer reach globally.
A major benefit of the transaction is the expansion of aftermarket services, which will now account for roughly $3.7 billion annually, or 42% of total revenue. This significant recurring revenue stream positions the company for stable cash flow and long-term growth. Further, the merger is expected to generate approximately $300 million in annual cost synergies within three years, driven by procurement efficiencies, facility consolidations, and operational streamlining. On top of that, incremental revenue synergies of at least 2% are anticipated over time.
The transaction has been unanimously approved by both boards of directors. Upon completion, Chart shareholders will own 53.5% and Flowserve shareholders will own 46.5% of the combined company. Jill Evanko, current CEO of Chart, will serve as Chair of the Board, while Scott Rowe, CEO of Flowserve, will become the Chief Executive Officer. The board will be evenly split, with six directors from each company.
Financially, the combined company will aim to maintain an investment-grade balance sheet with a leverage ratio of 2.0x net debt to adjusted EBITDA at closing. The firm expects strong cash generation, supporting growth initiatives, debt reduction, and a continued shareholder dividend.
Headquartered in Dallas, Texas, with continued operations in Atlanta and Houston, the new company is poised to become a global industrial technology giant. A new brand identity will be unveiled upon closing, which is expected by Q4 2025, pending shareholder and regulatory approvals.
This transformative merger marks a significant step forward in innovation, scale, and service within the industrial process sector, positioning the company to capitalize on growing demand for integrated and sustainable technologies worldwide.
