SPX’s $430 Million Neptronic Takeover Could Redefine HVAC!

SPX Technologies has moved to deepen its HVAC platform through the acquisition of Montreal-based Neptronic for C$605 million, or about US$430 million, announced on July 23, 2026. Neptronic designs intelligent controls, electric duct heaters, humidifiers, actuators, and valves, giving SPX a broader position in precision thermal management. The transaction arrives after a strong first quarter in which SPX reported 17.4% revenue growth, 23% adjusted EBITDA growth, and a 38% organic increase in HVAC backlog, driven mainly by data center demand. Management also raised full-year adjusted EPS guidance and increased its expected 2026 data center growth rate from roughly 50% to 70%. Against that backdrop, Neptronic offers more than incremental product breadth. It could strengthen SPX’s engineered HVAC portfolio, expand channel access, improve customer penetration, and support the company’s strategy of combining organic capacity investment with disciplined acquisitions as demand remains elevated across data centers, healthcare, power, and industrial markets.
