Danaher to Acquire Dental Equipment Maker Pelton & Crane for About $85 Million in Cash

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Diversified manufacturer Danaher Corp. said Monday that it agreed to acquire dental equipment maker Pelton & Crane for about $85 million in cash.

Danaher said the acquisition will strengthen its position in the dental equipment market. Pelton & Crane makes dental treatment units, lights, sterilizers and cabinetry. The company, which will become part of Danaher's Medical Technology segment, has facilities in Charlotte, N.C., and Newberg, Ore., and booked $80 million in revenue in 2004.

The company expects the acquisition to add minimally to earnings in 2005. Analysts surveyed by Thomson Financial expect annual earnings per share of $2.74 on revenue of $7.76 billion.
