Bel Fuse completed the purchase of dataMate for a total consideration of $16 million, which includes $1 million in deferred payments. The initial $15 million was funded through a combination of cash on hand and borrowings under the company’s revolving credit facility.

dataMate brings approximately $18 million in annual sales with operating margins aligned to Bel’s corporate averages. The acquisition positions Bel Fuse for growth in high-demand sectors such as networking, data centers, industrial automation, smart building management and broadband deployment.

dataMate’s portfolio of advanced Ethernet and broadband solutions complements Bel’s Magnetic Solutions offerings without overlapping customer designs. The acquired technologies aim to deliver both data and power over a single pair of wires, streamlining network infrastructure and reducing costs for industrial and smart building applications.

The deal enhances Bel Fuse’s U.S.-based manufacturing footprint and adds R&D, sales and product management capabilities. This integration is expected to bolster Bel’s operational capacity and accelerate innovation in its expanded connectivity and broadband product lines.
