The European private equity firm Trilantic Europe is acquiring 60 per cent of the shares in the Austrian assembly system manufacturer Aerocompact. The remaining 40 per cent of the shares will continue to be held by the private foundation of founder Mathias Muther.
Accelerating growth
Aerocompact will use the fresh capital to accelerate its international growth course, which is based on growing demand for solar systems and corresponding mounting systems. The transaction will provide Aerocompact with a flexible and strong capital structure. This will allow the company to continue to invest in growth in the coming years.
Presence on the international market
For Mathias Muther, Trilantic Europe's investment is a vote of confidence in Aerocompact's success to date. "Our strong growth curve since the company was founded around ten years ago shows that there is enormous potential in our products and engineering services," he explains. "Trilantic Europe's investment opens up the opportunity to accelerate our growth plans, expand our international market presence even further and look for further potential acquisitions. Thanks to the international reach of our new shareholder Trilantic Europe, both in the renewable energy sector and on the capital market, we can pursue this goal with full vigour." The transaction is still subject to approval by the relevant authorities. (su/mfo)
