Broadwind Heavy Fabrications Acquired by IES Infrastructure | Manufacturing M&A Deal

IES Infrastructure has acquired Broadwind Heavy Fabrications, a industrial equipment business in Texas, for $19.5 million. Broadwind Heavy Fabrications operated a wind tower manufacturing facility in Abilene, producing components for power generation and critical infrastructure customers, while also running modular pressure reducing systems (PRS). The buyer’s industrial equipment acquisition supports manufacturing M&A scale in TX and preserves an orderly transition of existing Abilene customer orders through a short-term lease arrangement post-closing. The strategic acquisition is structured as a divestiture acquisition as Broadwind exits wind market production, with about 140 employees expected to move to IES Infrastructure by the lease end around September 5, 2026.
