Closing is planned for late 2025 or early 2026, subject to certain customary and regulatory conditions.
This acquisition would represent the seventh completed transaction by Excelitas since 2017, building on the momentum of the Noblelight acquisition in January 2024.

This strategic move would mark a bold step forward for the company, unlocking new possibilities and expanding technological horizons, directly supporting Excelitas’ purpose: Enriching Life, Innovation Driven.
Ron Keating, CEO of Excelitas, commented: “Luxium brings a highly differentiated asset of scale with a strong reputation for technical excellence and customer trust to Excelitas. Luxium aligns with our strategy to increase our presence in targeted high-growth end markets, while also enhancing our capabilities in advanced optical technologies. We look forward to welcoming the Luxium team to Excelitas. Upon closing, Luxium will join Excelitas’ Advanced Industrial segment, further enhancing our technical application strength and market positions.”
“Luxium has undergone an accelerated systematic transformation with the continued support of SK Capital and Edgewater Capital,” said Michael Cahill, CEO of Luxium Solutions. “During this period, we acquired PLX and Inrad Optics, expanded our footprint in India, and streamlined our operations. In parallel, we have invested in manufacturing improvements with the mission of better servicing our customers. We are excited to join the Excelitas platform, which is well-aligned with our markets, customers, engineering development processes, and global business infrastructure.”
This acquisition represents a significant step forward in Excelitas’ growth strategy and its commitment to delivering innovative, high-performance solutions to customers worldwide.
