Diversified industrial manufacturer making pumps, brake pads/friction materials and connectors for industrial, auto and aerospace customers.
Sells brake pads to carmakers, which design them into vehicle models for years and pay per unit, and industrial pumps to process plants, where spare parts and service follow the first sale. Connectors for aerospace and industrial use are the third line. It spun off Exelis and Xylem in 2011 and sold its legacy asbestos liabilities in 2021.
Moat: narrow (customer qualification, process know-how, installed base). OEM-qualified brake friction materials and process-critical pumps create switching costs.
