“Telex is an outstanding company with an excellent product and end-market portfolio that fits in perfectly with our existing business,” added Barton White, CEO of Kymera. “Matt Danish has assembled a highly talented group of individuals in a truly entrepreneurial environment. We love Telex’s dedication to ESG initiatives, including being a zero-discharge facility and we will strive to help Matt and Telex accelerate their growth trajectory.”
Kymera has been owned by affiliates of Palladium Equity Partners, LLC, a middle-market private equity firm with approximately $3 billion in assets under management, since 2018. This is the fourth acquisition for Kymera under Palladium’s ownership.
