MSA Safety said it has acquired M&C TechGroup, a supplier of gas analysis products, for about $200 million.

The move was part of MSA Safety's plan to accelerate growth, which includes a focus on growing its detection business, Chief Executive Steve Blanco said.

M&C TechGroup has an annual revenue of about $55 million, and will accelerate growth with its customer relationships and distribution network, Blanco said.

"The acquisition positions us to be a leading provider of high-quality gas analysis solutions that create value for customers by enhancing infrastructure and workplace safety, optimizing processes and reducing costs," Blanco said.

M&C TechGroup said it agreed to be acquired partially because it would benefit from MSA Safety's market reach and distribution resources.

MSA Safety, formerly known as Mine Safety Appliances, is a Pittsburgh manufacturer of safety products.
