New York, NY, October 21, 2011 --(PR.com)-- Business Development Asia LLC ("BDA") is pleased to announce that its client, Materion Corporation (NYSE: MTRN; "Materion"), one of the world’s premier advanced materials companies, has acquired EIS Optics Limited from a group of financial investors including Fleming Family & Partners and Nova Capital Management Limited. Consideration for the transaction was approximately US$24 million.

Among other products, EIS Optics is the world's largest manufacturer of color wheels for color splitting in field sequential lighting management in digital production, video production and video imaging.

Together with its additional subsidiaries in Japan and Korea, EIS Optics serves a variety of customers active in the electronic products supply chain across the Asia-Pacific region and beyond. EIS Optics thus provides Materion with an Asian manufacturing base that will enable it to better serve its rapidly growing Asian optical coatings businesses.
Richard J. Hipple, Chairman of the Board, President and Chief Executive Officer of Materion, commented: "We are very pleased to welcome our new associates in Shanghai and continue the transformation of the Materion organization by further broadening our advanced materials technology base and product portfolio. The integration of the EIS Optics manufacturing facility in Shanghai and its talented and dedicated workforce into Materion provides a promising platform for future growth and immediately widens our geographic reach, value add services, and optical materials capabilities in fast-growing global markets."
BDA acted as the exclusive financial advisor to Materion on the transaction, having identified the opportunity and initiated the approach to the shareholders of EIS Optics earlier this year. BDA’s familiarity with both the advanced manufacturing sector and the global private equity space combined with its cross-border M&A expertise to achieve a successful result with a compelling strategic rationale.
Euan Rellie remarked: “This is a small but highly strategic transaction. EIS is a great fit for Materion, which brings compelling synergies. We were glad to be able to help a high quality client to find and acquire a well run, Western-owned asset in China. BDA is uniquely placed for this kind of work. We have tracked EIS for several years, even before Nova and FF&P acquired it, allowing us to understand clearly the motivation of the various parties, and maximise the chance of closing a successful transaction."
