Colfax Corporation announced its intention to separate its fabrication technology and specialty medical technology businesses into two differentiated, independent, and publicly-traded companies. The separation is intended to be structured in a tax-free manner and is targeted to be completed in the first quarter of 2022. The specialty medical technology company will be led by Colfax CEO Matt Trerotola and Colfax EVP Brady Shirley will serve as Chief Operating Officer. Mr. Shirley will join Mr. Trerotola on the MedTech Board. Colfax CFO Chris Hix will serve as CFO. Headquartered in Wilmington, Delaware with a significant presence in Dallas, Texas, the company will be renamed before the separation is completed to reflect its strategic focus. The fabrication technology company will be led by current Colfax EVP Shyam Kambeyanda, who will join the FabTech Board. Long-time Colfax financial executive and current ESAB business CFO Kevin Johnson will serve as FabTech’s CFO.  The company will remain headquartered in Maryland and continue to operate under its well-known brand name ESAB.
