Note 2.     Acquisitions

On January 30, 2014, we purchased the majority of the operating assets of V-S Industries, V-S Precision, LLC and V-S Precision SA de DV (collectively referred to as “VS”) from the secured creditors of V-S Industries for $5,580 in cash and assumed certain liabilities totaling $2,968. This was accounted for as business combination. VS is a precision metal components manufacturer that supplies customers in a variety of industries including electric motors, HVAC, power tools, automotive and medical. The acquisition of VS provided us with a complementary, and broader product offering and allowed penetration into adjacent markets. VS has two locations in Wheeling, Illinois and Juarez, Mexico and rolls up under the Autocam Precision Components Segment.
