Ingersoll Rand acquires Italy’s Fox to expand metering and dosing capabilities

Ingersoll Rand has acquired Fox srl and XF srl to strengthen its metering and dosing technologies portfolio.
Based in Milan, Fox manufactures hydropneumatic accumulators, pulsation dampeners, calibration pots and instrumentation designed to stabilise flow and pressure in dosing systems. The technologies help protect downstream equipment while improving performance, durability and reliability in complex pumping applications.
The acquisition will allow Ingersoll Rand to combine its existing technologies with Fox’s products to offer more comprehensive end-to-end metering and dosing solutions. The company said the move supports higher-quality output and increased productivity for customers.
Fox has more than 40 years of experience in dampener and accumulator technologies and will become part of Ingersoll Rand’s Precision and Science Technologies (P&ST) segment.
“The addition of Fox strengthens our metering and dosing portfolio and enhances our ability to deliver more complete, competitive solutions for customers,” said Vicente Reynal, chairman and CEO of Ingersoll Rand. “Fox brings more than 40 years of expertise and highly complementary dampener and accumulator technologies that expand our capabilities to provide packaged dosing systems and create additional value for our customers and shareholders.”
