After a disciplined auction process, the Company was acquired by Littelfuse (NASDAQ: LFUS), an industrial technology manufacturing company that focuses on the design and manufacturing of circuit protection products for the electronics, automotive and electrical industries. Like Carling, Littelfuse was founded nearly 94 years ago, employs over 12,000 global associates and has facilities located across more than 15 countries.

“Carter Morse & Goodrich guided our family through every aspect of the deal from start to finish. They undertook a rigorous and comprehensive process to not only find an acquirer that would recognize the value of Carling’s brand and organization, but that would also strive to continue and build on the legacy that our family has worked so hard to create.” Christopher Sorenson, Chief Operating Officer, continued, “CMG provided us with numerous attractive options from which to choose and now we are excited to partner with Littelfuse, whom we are confident will provide the best home for our employees, our customers and our business partners.”
