Fort Worth-based Goff Capital, headed by billionaire businessman John Goff, acquired the aerospace-focused engineering, consulting, and testing laboratory that specializes in hydrogen embrittlement. As part of this acquisition, Omega Research Inc. has also relocated to a larger, purpose-built facility in Euless.
Omega, which calls itself the world’s largest hydrogen embrittlement testing laboratory, was founded in 1984 by engineer W. Craig Willian, who will remain with the company.
“I am pleased to be part of a company transition to new and energetic individuals guided by the business acumen of John Goff. John brings a rich history of investing in established technologies while at the same time nurturing the development of new ideas,” Willan said in a statement.
Additional terms of the acquisition were not disclosed.
“As the aerospace super-cycle continues to attract investors, our priorities remain uniqueness of capability, criticality of function and premier quality. Omega Research has all these traits alongside an impressive roster of customer relationships from small, privately-owned plating houses to the largest of [original equipment manufacturers],” Goff said in a statement.
