CHARLOTTE, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--EnPro Industries, Inc. (NYSE: NPO), a leading technology company using materials science to push boundaries in semiconductor, life sciences, and other technology-enabled sectors, today announced that it has completed the sale of its GGB bushing block business located in Dieuze, France to Melma Group. EnPro communicated its intent to exit this business on June 18, 2020 and during the third quarter identified a buyer to purchase the business.

"After announcing the exit of GGB's bushing block business in June, we are pleased to have received an offer from Melma Group to purchase and continue operating the business.
