ITT

What ITT does

ITT Inc. is a publicly traded diversified industrial manufacturer (NYSE: ITT) domiciled in New York, USA, that designs and manufactures highly engineered components for harsh-environment and mission-critical applications. Following its March 2, 2026 acquisition of SPX FLOW for $4.775 billion, the company operates through two principal segments: ITT Cannon, which produces interconnect solutions including D-shaped, circular, rectangular, MIL-SPEC equivalent, high-power, fiber optic, filtered/hermetic, and high-speed connectors; and SPX FLOW, which manufactures pumps, valves, mixers, and homogenizers for chemical, energy, and mining industries. The company's connector portfolio is differentiated by military qualifications including MIL-DTL-5015, MIL-PRF-32383/3A for BB-2590 Li-ion smart batteries, and Nett Warrior qualification by the US Army for the MKJ Warrior Series, alongside proprietary platforms such as PowerLock (450–800A high-current distribution, up to 1,000V AC/DC), BVM thermoplastic series with IP66/IP68 sealing, and Trident Neptune sealed circular connectors.

The company monetizes primarily through hardware sales of engineered critical components, with quote-based enterprise B2B pricing delivered through a global authorized distributor network (including Powell Electronics) and direct manufacturer engagement for OEM customers. Go-to-market combines enterprise field sales targeting aerospace, defense, and industrial customers with an online product configurator and stock-check system covering APD, HDx, MKJ, Nemesis, and Trident series, supplemented by a 2026 global trade show calendar and a YouTube-hosted "Cannon Plug" product video series. In FY2024, ITT reported $3.94 billion in revenue and $488 million in net income; Q4 2025 delivered $1.054 billion in sales (+13% YoY) with EPS of $1.85, beating consensus by $0.06. ITT holds approximately 13.2% share of the $8.05 billion aerospace and defense connector market, employs 1,001–5,000 people, and operates across North America, Asia Pacific, Europe, the Middle East, and Latin America.

Direct peers

• Amphenol: Amphenol is the world's largest manufacturer of interconnect, sensors, and antenna solutions for harsh environments across aerospace, defense, automotive, and industrial — directly competing with ITT Cannon in MIL-SPEC circular, rectangular, and fiber optic connector categories. Both companies chase the same aerospace and defense design-in opportunities.
• TE Connectivity: TE Connectivity designs and manufactures connectors and sensors including DEUTSCH, AMP, and Raychem product lines serving aerospace, defense, automotive, and industrial markets. TE's DEUTSCH and 38999-series compete head-to-head with ITT Cannon's MIL-DTL-5015 and harsh-environment circular connectors.
• Molex: Molex (a Koch subsidiary) manufactures electronic interconnect solutions with a strong presence in commercial vehicle, industrial, and aerospace markets. Its heavy-duty and sealed connector families overlap with ITT Cannon's BVM, Trident, and SURE-SEAL series for industrial and off-road vehicle applications.
• Glenair: Glenair is a privately held US manufacturer specializing in MIL-SPEC circular and rectangular connectors, backshells, and hermetic interconnect for military and aerospace platforms. Glenair directly competes with ITT Cannon on MIL-DTL-38999, MIL-DTL-5015, and similar qualified part numbers across defense primes.
• Smiths Interconnect: Smiths Interconnect (part of Smiths Group) supplies high-reliability interconnect, microwave, and sensing solutions for aerospace, defense, and industrial markets. Their MIL-DTL and high-frequency connector lines, including DuraPOINT and Hyperboloid contacts, compete with ITT Cannon's high-speed, filtered, and harsh-environment offerings.
• Radiall: Radiall is a French designer and manufacturer of interconnect products including RF/coaxial, fiber optic, and circular military-grade connectors. Its defense, aerospace, and industrial product lines directly overlap with ITT Cannon's MIL-SPEC, fiber optic, and high-speed quadrax connectors.
• HARTING: HARTING is a German family-owned manufacturer of industrial connectors (Han series), PCB connectors, and industrial Ethernet infrastructure. It is a direct peer to ITT Cannon in industrial-grade rectangular interconnect and now expanding into harsh-environment and high-power applications.
• Phoenix Contact: Phoenix Contact manufactures industrial connection and automation technology including heavy-duty rectangular connectors, PCB terminal blocks, and high-current power connectors. Its PLUSCON heavy-power and EV-charging connector lines compete with ITT Cannon's PowerLock and EV charging portfolio.

Broad incumbents

• Eaton (Souriau / UEC): Eaton is a diversified industrial conglomerate that owns Souriau (now part of Eaton's Aerospace group), a long-standing MIL-SPEC circular connector supplier. Eaton is a broad incumbent — overlap with ITT Cannon is meaningful in aerospace/defense interconnect but is only one of many product lines within Eaton's full portfolio.
• 3M (Electronics & Industrial): 3M's Electronics & Industrial segment includes board-to-board and wire-to-board connectors, packaging, and interconnection products serving industrial, transportation, and aerospace markets. Though much broader than ITT Cannon's harsh-environment focus, 3M competes in adjacent interconnect categories and industrial channels.
