DALLAS, Nov. 21, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- CSW Industrials, Inc. (NYSE: CSW) today announced the strategic deployment of over $26.5 million in completing the separate acquisitions of Hydrotex Holdings, Inc. (“Hydrotex”) and ProAction Fluids. These acquisitions are evidence of the Company’s continued commitment to add innovative product offerings and further diversify the end market uses within the Specialized Reliability Solutions segment. CSW funded the transactions with borrowings under its existing $700 million revolving credit facility.

Joseph B. Armes, Chairman, President, and Chief Executive Officer of CSW Industrials, said, “These acquisitions are consistent with our record of enhancing long-term shareholder value and adding new products to our portfolio, while allowing us to enter new end markets with products growing faster than the overall end markets served. The additions of Hydrotex and ProAction Fluids further solidifies our leadership position in niche specialty lubricants and fluids.”

Mark Bass, Vice President of CSW Industrials and General Manager, Specialized Reliability Solutions, commented, “We are excited to invest in expanding the breadth and depth of our products within Specialized Reliability Solutions. Adding Hydrotex and ProAction Fluids to our portfolio allows us to offer industry leading technology to address infrastructure horizontal directional drilling and specialty lubricants to diversify our end markets served. I could not be more thrilled to work with both teams to increase the distribution and improve the customer experience for these products.”

The acquisition of Hydrotex Holdings, Inc. brings a family of high-performance lubricants supplying products to multiple industries, including the industrial, manufacturing, agriculture, food processing, transportation, fleets, power generation, and utilities end markets, allowing additional end market diversification to our product portfolio. Hydrotex’s high-performance lubricants are designed to enhance operational efficiency, reduce equipment wear, and extend service life, enabling safer, more efficient operations.

The acquisition of ProAction Fluids adds complementary products to sell alongside current product offerings. This specialty product acquisition delivers a superior mud management solution, focusing on infrastructure build-out, to horizontal directional drilling end users compared to traditional methods.
