One Equity Partners, a middle market private equity firm, today announced that its portfolio company Momentum Manufacturing Group (“MMG” or “the Company”), a leading North American metal manufacturing services provider, has acquired two precision machining services providers Evans Industries Inc. (“Evans”) and Little Enterprises, LLC (“Little”). Terms of the private transactions were not disclosed.

Founded in 1965 and headquartered in Topsfield, Massachusetts, Evans produces mission-critical components for the semiconductor and medical end markets. Its capabilities include machining, finishing and complex assembly, with a focus on working with specialty metal alloys. Little, founded in 1994 and headquartered in Ipswich, Massachusetts, is a precision machining services provider for critical components in the semiconductor, aerospace and defense, and medical end markets. Little also focuses on specialty metal alloys, and its capabilities include design, inspection, machining, milling, turning, grinding, and welding.

“We are proud to have supported MMG in the transformative acquisitions of Evans and Little, which were completed in the first year of our investment,” said Charlie Cole, Principal at One Equity Partners. “The acquisitions expand Momentum’s capabilities, increase the Company’s exposure to mission-critical end markets, and add nearly 160 skilled team members.”

“The addition of Evans and Little give MMG precision machining and additional robotic technologies that enhance our automated manufacturing capabilities,” said James Moroney, CEO of Momentum Manufacturing Group. “We are seeing customers continue to bring work back onshore as well as outsource more work to manufacturing partners. Momentum has long been focused on investing in capacity and capabilities to ensure we can meet all of our customers’ needs. The acquisitions of Evans and Little are further examples of that.”

In April 2022, MMG also completed a small, add-on acquisition of Sonic Manufacturing Company, which added custom cabling and electro-mechanical assembly capabilities. Sonic had been a sub-contractor to MMG for nearly three years.
