Momentum in the industrial M&A realm kept steady during the month of October, as MDM reported on nearly 30 deals involving distributors and manufacturers. Several of those acquisitions came with price tags in the hundreds of millions, with one clearing the billions-of-dollars hurdle.

On Oct. 27, Regal Rexnord Corporation said it acquired Altra Industrial Motion Corp., a manufacturer of automation equipment and power transmission components, for approximately $5 billion. Welding equipment and supplies manufacturer Lincoln Electric acquired Fori Automation, a designer and maker of automated welding systems, for $427 million.
