BOCA RATON, Fla., June 17, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- New Water Capital Partners II L.P. ("New Water" or "the Firm"), a Boca Raton-based private equity investment firm focused on lower-middle market companies, today announced that portfolio company Nelson Miller Group ("NMG") has acquired New England Keyboard, Inc.

"NEK's expertise and strong customer relationships in high-reliability sectors are a perfect complement to NMG's platform," said Matt Carlos, Principal at New Water. "This transaction underscores our commitment to building a best-in-class HMI solutions provider that is able to address complex challenges in design, engineering, manufacturing, and supply chain management."
"This acquisition represents a significant step in expanding our capabilities and deepening our presence in industries like defense and aerospace. Together, we'll be able to offer even more value to customers through a broader portfolio of solutions, world-class engineering support, and global manufacturing resources," said Rich Fitzgerald, CEO of Nelson Miller Group. "We are excited to welcome NEK's talented team to the NMG family."
"We are proud of what we have built at NEK over nearly four decades," said Dave Myers, co-founder of New England Keyboard. "Joining forces with Nelson Miller Group is a natural next step for the business that will provide our customers and employees with new opportunities and access to a broader network of resources and solutions. We are confident that our shared commitment to providing best-in-class quality and customer service in all that we do will drive continued success."
