Pentair completes $1.4B Taco Group acquisition

Pentair plc said on October 1, 2026 that it has successfully completed its acquisition of Taco Group Holdings for $1.4 billion, subject to customary adjustments, bringing a hydronic and water-based solutions platform into its Water Solutions segment under the Taco brand.

Pentair finished buying Taco Group Holdings on October 1, 2026 — a sealed CLOSE, not an agreement announcement.

$1.4 billion CLOSE

On October 1, 2026, Pentair plc (NYSE: PNR) said it has successfully completed its acquisition of Taco Group Holdings (Taco) for $1.4 billion, subject to customary adjustments. The Business Wire Completes release, timed 4:20 PM ET, is the sealed close for an acquisition path that earlier disclosures still treated as pending.

What Taco adds

Taco is described as a leader in hydronic and water-based solutions. As previously announced, Taco will sit in Pentair's Water Solutions reporting segment, continue to go to market under the Taco brand, and maintain a significant presence in Cranston, Rhode Island.

Pentair President and CEO John L. Stauch said the deal welcomes the Taco team into a stronger company focused on innovative water solutions, adds a comprehensive suite of premier solutions, and scales Pentair's position in high-growth commercial and mission-critical end-markets.

Taco LLC Chief Executive Officer and Owner John Hazen White Jr. called the closing an exciting new chapter for Taco. Taco LLC President Benjamin White said the close marks an important milestone in Taco's history.

Financing context (not the Completes 8-K)

A separate Form 8-K AccNo 0001104659-26-104725 (Items 2.03 and 9.01), filed September 2, 2026 for an earliest event dated September 1, 2026, reports that Pentair and Pentair Finance S.à r.l. entered senior unsecured term loan facilities totaling $1.4 billion aggregate principal amount ($400 million Tranche 1 and $1.0 billion Tranche 2) in contemplation of the Taco acquisition. As of September 1, 2026, no loans were outstanding under those facilities. That filing is financing context around the Taco path. As of this cycle's EDGAR tip read, it is not an October 1 Item 2.01 completion 8-K for the Taco close.

Why the close matters

A Completes release on October 1 turns the pending Taco acquisition into a sealed $1.4 billion close and brings a hydronic and water-based solutions platform into Pentair's Water Solutions segment under the Taco brand.
