"The acquisition of Vortex affirms the strategy we laid out at the beginning of the year, which includes focusing our investments on innovative products that offer the potential for profitable, sustainable growth," DeVivo added.
"We anticipate the transaction will be accretive to GAAP EPS in the first half of fiscal 2014.
"Furthermore, the acquisition is expected to add approximately $10 million in sales and $5 million in adjusted EBITDA during fiscal 2014, and achieve $50 million in annual sales within five years."
