Ireland-based Galway Tool & Mould has been acquired by SyBridge Technologies

Leading precision tooling manufacturer Galway Tool & Mould has been acquired by SyBridge Technologies, a global industrial technology company. The acquisition expands SyBridge’s presence in the high precision life sciences end-market.

Galway Tool & Mould (GTM) designs and manufactures outstandingly precise, high-performance, cost-effective injection molds. GTM brings the client’s concept through to complex injection mold solutions. Over 30 years of reliability, innovation and superior quality has made GTM the preferred partner to many of the world’s leading pharmaceutical and medical device manufacturers.

SyBridge Technologies was established in 2019 by New York-based private equity firm Crestview Partners to create a global technology leader that provides value-added design and manufacturing solutions across multiple industries. SyBridge is the combination of more than 13 acquisitions made to combine different products, services and technologies into a singular technology-enabled solution. SyBridge is based in Southfield, Michigan, and has operations in the United States, Canada, Mexico and Ireland.

Oaklins’ team in Ireland acted as the exclusive M&A advisor to the shareholder of GTM on the sale of the company to SyBridge Technologies. It is another example of Oaklins in Ireland identifying a North American purchaser searching for an Irish platform to gain access to the large and lucrative EU market.
