Transcat Engages MZ Group to Lead Strategic Investor Relations and Shareholder Communications Program
ROCHESTER, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 6, 2025--
Transcat, Inc. (Nasdaq: TRNS) ('Transcat' or the 'Company'), a leading provider of mission critical calibration services and distributor of test and measurement equipment to Fortune 500 Manufacturers, today announced it has engaged international investor relations specialists MZ Group (MZ) to lead a comprehensive strategic investor relations and financial communications program across all key markets.
MZ Group will work closely with Transcat management to develop and implement a comprehensive Investor and Media Relations strategy designed to increase the Company's visibility throughout the investment community. The campaign will highlight Transcat's market-leading position providing mission critical, accredited calibration services and equipment to a blue-chip client base, with the footprint and scale to support large national opportunities. Since 1964, clients served include a diverse set of industries in life sciences, aerospace and government/defense.
Transcat's complementary business segments, combined with recent synergistic acquisitions, drove fiscal third quarter 2025 revenue of $66.8 million and full fiscal year 2024 growth of 13% to a record $259.5 million. High levels of recurring revenue streams in its Service segment have provided 63 consecutive quarters of revenue growth, and a gross margin of 34% in fiscal year 2024. Fiscal year 2024 Adjusted EBITDA of $38.6 million and net income of $13.6 million, up 28% from the prior year, further demonstrated the company's differentiated value proposition. With $19.3 million in operating free cash flow, access to $40.5 million available under an existing credit facility and low leverage ratio of only 0.97, Transcat is well positioned to build on its growth and M&A initiatives.
MZ has developed a distinguished reputation as a premier resource for institutional investors, brokers, analysts, and private investors and maintains offices worldwide. Chris Tyson, Executive Vice President & Partner at MZ North America, along with Directors Larry Holub and Brooks Hamilton, will advise Transcat's investor relations team in all facets of investor relations, including, but not limited to, the coordination of roadshows and investment conferences across key cities and building brand awareness with financial and social media outlets.
Chris Tyson commented: 'The stringent regulatory standards for manufacturers imposed by entities including the FDA, FAA and Department of Defense to ensure product safety and environmental protection are driving the need for high-value calibration services. Growth from the increasing deployment of industrial automated systems and advanced manufacturing technologies demands more precise instrumentation and control, while medical device usage in diagnostics, treatment, and monitoring increases calibration service requirements. Additionally, high-precision instrumentation and strict safety protocols in aviation and defense necessitate frequent, exacting calibration. Across these industries, Markets and Markets estimates the global calibration services market size will grow to $8.1 billion by 2030. In the short term, required calibration provides recurring revenue and earnings visibility in an uncertain market. Longer term, domestic initiatives to bring manufacturing back to the US, most immediately the pharmaceutical industry, will provide additional growth opportunities. With this tremendous revenue potential, we look forward to sharing the Transcat story with our network of institutional investors, family offices and retail investors.'
'This is an exciting time for Transcat with recent acquisitions expanding our geographic footprint, capabilities, markets, revenue and margin,' said Lee D. Rudow, President and CEO of Transcat. 'Namely, our recently acquired Martin Calibration business is increasing our Midwest service presence, which is rich in both life sciences and aerospace and defense manufacturing. This acquisition and pipeline of opportunities present compelling cross-sell synergies to drive revenue growth and margin into these acquired customer bases and our installed base. We look forward to working with Chris and the entire team at MZ Group to communicate our business milestones in the weeks and months ahead.'

When Tariffs Bite
Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. You're reading Entrepreneur United Kingdom, an international franchise of Entrepreneur Media. Against the backdrop of an increasingly unstable market thanks to global geopolitical tensions, several financial records were broken when President Trump announced tariffs on goods being imported into the USA. We saw an unprecedented $6.4 trillion market-wide loss over two days, reported by the Wall Street Journal, and the Dow Jones lost more than 2,000 points in a single day for only the fourth time in history. For business leaders, this isn't just volatility; it's a clarion call to rethink resilience. They are naturally turning towards their accountants to help guide them through the instability and ensure continued liquidity. At HLB, we've long championed that turbulence isn't a barrier—it's a catalyst for reinvention. Driving innovation A key focus for businesses must be on driving innovation, which is no longer a luxury but a necessity. When faced with economic uncertainty and aggressive market shifts, companies which actively innovate are more likely to thrive. It might be easy to focus on the challenges, but there are also opportunities which present themselves in these stormy times – or which can be orchestrated through careful planning and business transformation. It may feel instinctual to keep things the same when the outside influences are so changeable, but in fact it's a prime time to rethink business structure, logistics and customer engagement strategies. With tariffs now in place across most of the world, companies importing into the USA should focus on building resilient and diverse supplier relationships in those countries where there are smaller tariffs in operation. Single-source systems should be replaced with a multi-source network as this reduces the risks of being tied solely to one region's tariffs. Sustainability should also be built into operations, as this not only works towards ESG goals (for example, by decreasing supply chain emissions) but also reduces costs and frees up capital, which can then be reinvested in other parts of the business. Agility is also crucial in times of turmoil, meaning it's vital to foster an open mindset to experimentation, implementing innovative initiatives and replacing outdated processes. By having flexible goals, and being open to how the company achieves them, adaptations can be made quickly when necessary and creative solutions can be explored when challenges like the introduction of tariffs arise. Business leaders can thrive by treating flexibility as a core competency—setting ambitious goals but staying open to how they're achieved. When tariffs hit, creative pivots matter more than ever. Digital transformation and AI The implementation of new technology, particularly AI, is something most business leaders are already considering, if not already implementing as part of a process of digital transformation. According to the HLB Survey of Business Leaders, 78% are prioritising investments in digital technologies to enhance operational efficiency and adaptability, and 62% said digital transformation was a primary strategy to mitigate risks associated with external disruptions, such as trade policy fluctuations. Business' financial experts can use AI to analyse vast amounts of data across suppliers, logistics and import/export costs to quickly identify optimal sourcing strategies; and automation tools leveraged within logistics and HR teams can save time and operational costs, enabling the business to focus on longer-term strategic planning. Other transformative tools can help businesses better understand shifting customer demands (for example, as tariff costs trickle down to consumers), and enable companies to do more with less, ultimately providing a competitive advantage and transforming how they operate, pivot and grow – even in a volatile trade landscape. Integrating people and AI for growth A dual focus on innovation and people leads to significantly stronger outcomes. Successful companies don't simply adopt new technologies but embed them within their workforce structure by prioritising employee upskilling. This may involve providing training courses on data literacy and ESG frameworks, to ensure teams comprehensively understand how evolving technologies and regulations impact business operations. Staff must also feel empowered to collaborate across functions, as this tends to generate the most high-impact ideas; by ensuring teams have ownership over projects that combine technology tools like AI with ESG-specific goals, this helps foster an innovative and adaptable mindset throughout the company – especially if successful outcomes are considered as part of individual employees' performance milestones, to highlight the importance of these projects within the wider business' long-term strategy. With the help of their accountants, companies must make changes to their supply chains and business models, implement operational efficiencies in order to finance technological innovation, and work through the external challenges which present themselves as tariffs and global turmoil continue to disrupt the business world. Those who do so effectively can absolutely weather the storm, and build their resilience to protect themselves against any future challenges which arise.

What My Son Taught Me About The Future Of Work
The next generation workforce in the age of AI courtsey Redd Francisco I asked my son, who is graduating from college in a few weeks, to join me on my podcast series (link here). It was a fun, and personal, conversation - but brought out a larger, broader insight: there is an entirely new generation of our future workforce coming in - and they grew up with AI. This is the graduating class of 2025. They approach generative AI tools like ChatGPT and Cursor - not just to complete assignments - but to prototype ideas, streamline workflows, and write code more efficiently. For them, these tools aren't novelties; they're extensions of how they learn and solve problems. They think differently, work differently, and expect more from the companies they're about to join. Reflecting on the conversation, it's obvious that their technology stack looks very different from ours; the applications they use reflect the evolving landscape of personal productivity, shaping how the next generation will operate in the workplace. What is also striking is their agility with AI - they don't get attached to a single tool or platform for life, instead, thrive in a dynamic environment where continuous learning and iteration are the norm - constantly trying, testing and evolving to the next. This adaptability - the willingness to experiment, learn, and adjust - is a hallmark of this generation. And while they know not to blindly trust every AI-generated response, they also aren't discouraged by the occasional 'hallucinations.' Instead, they have learned to live with them, to work around them by truly understanding their own role as a human in the loop. It's a mindset that acknowledges both the promise and the limitations of AI - a balance that will be critical for organizations navigating this shift. This new generation workforce have grown up in an era where AI isn't just a concept—it's a daily companion. They enter the workforce with an intuitive grasp of how technology can enhance productivity and creativity. Tools like large language models, low-code platforms, and automated assistants are second nature to them. Their mindset isn't 'Will AI help me do my job?' - it's 'How can we use AI to make this process better, faster, and more impactful?' This creates a fascinating contrast with many in the existing workforce - while we've been debating the potential of AI and cautiously experimenting with its applications, this new workforce expects AI to be embedded, accessible, and essential. And that's not a gap to be feared - it's an opportunity to accelerate transformation. This influx of digitally fluent, AI-native talent is a real opportunity for organizations. It's a chance to rethink not just how we work - but how we lead, manage, and empower teams. The companies that will thrive aren't the ones trying to retrofit AI into legacy processes; it will be the ones willing to embrace new workflows, delegate more decision-making to automated systems, and create space for innovation at every level. And it isn't just about technology; this is about culture. It's about fostering an environment where fresh ideas are not just heard but celebrated, where employees can challenge norms and contribute to building smarter, more agile businesses. For those of us in leadership, this is a pivotal moment - the newest members of our workforce aren't waiting for permission to use AI, they're bringing it with them. The good news is this shift gives us a chance to leap forward, to move beyond incremental improvements and embrace true transformation. It challenges us to think bigger about what our companies can achieve when we empower people with the tools and the mindset to innovate. But more importantly, it's a call to honor the human spirit behind the technology - to empower people with the tools and culture they need to thrive. So as we welcome this new generation of our youngest workforce across our corporations, let's ask ourselves: Are we ready to match their expectations? And create workspaces that don't just accommodate AI but are built for it? Because the future isn't something we're waiting for. It's already here – and walking in through our doors with the now-graduating class of digitally-fluent talent that just happened to grow up with AI.
