ITW employs 60,000 workers in 52 countries.

"This higher offer underlines the regard which Enodis has built in the global food-service industry," said Enodis Chairman Peter Brooks in a statement.

"We believe that the combination of ITW food equipment and Enodis will create an expanded global food-equipment platform with very complementary strategic, operational and geographical growth positions," said ITW Chairman and Chief Executive David Speer.

"The collective businesses will have a significantly enhanced product portfolio in addition to greater scale to compete even more effectively and successfully in the global food-equipment industry."
