Triton Partners identified that Russia’s annexation of Crimea in 2014 had “led to an increase of investments in security”, Triton's Johannes Meier tells me. The #PrivateEquity firm then went on to buy RENK Group, a #transmission engineering company with 70 percent of its revenues from the defence industry, from Volkswagen in 2020. But on top of the tailwinds from the defence industry, Triton also focused on making Renk a more customer-focused business, as well as investing in capex and #MandA, before listing the business last month. We also touched on the potential business for Renk from the energy transition sector, using similar engineering from older energy industries. “There is not much reengineering needed,” said Meier. “Similar products can be applied to the hydrogen, carbon capturing and the heat pump industries. Renk is expecting quite rapid growth in that business. That’s the next big wave that is going to come.” https://lnkd.in/df8YbAYF

Chinese EV Maker Aiways Goes Public in $400 Million SPAC  Aiways, a Chinese electric vehicle maker, will go public through a merger with U.S. particular purpose acquisition company Hudson Acquisition Corp. The deal is expected to value the company at around $400 million and should close by the end of the year. Aiways had halted production at its plant in Shangrao due to a brutal EV price war in China. Before the financial struggles, the company had sold its U5 and U6 electric models in 16 European markets. The new entity will be strategically positioned to capitalize on the European EV market. https://lnkd.in/e7UTy6xv #icws #evmarket #automotiveindustry #carmanufacturer #erurope #china #unitedstates #merging

Interesting, new markets mean new geographies, or new customer usecases? Vanderlande have been BHS focused for years, but they have sucessfully expanded their products into large scale fulfillment services and nowadays major e-commerce companies use their conveyors in FCs. Dimark might have similiar market opportunity as in my opinion we will still see growth in D2C/e-commerce channel. Especially in EMEA. What do you think? #ecommerce #operationsmanagement #logistics #automation #business #strategy
