The acquirer is a well-established, publicly listed US manufacturer of a wide range of safety-critical products, focused on protecting people and infrastructure across Europe, Asia, and beyond. As part of a strategic international expansion programme, the group is seeking to acquire established businesses in the technical fire and gas detection sector, as well as in elevator systems, to strengthen and diversify its global portfolio.

Target Market:

Ideal targets are established businesses with at least three years of consistent historical growth. They are not seeking early-stage or start-up ventures. Preference will be given to firms with a solid reputation for engineering excellence, proven product performance, and strong relationships with clients in industries such as energy, transport, infrastructure, healthcare, and commercial real estate.
