Agic buys Gimatic for more than €100m

The SBO sees existing investors Xenon Private Equity and the company's CEO Giuseppe Bellandi retain a minority stake in the business.

According to a statement, the company is planning on using the fresh capital to boost its international expansion, particularly in the Chinese market.

The deal follows Agic's acquisition of KraussMaffei Group for €925m in early 2016. The GP launched its maiden fund in March 2015, targeting $1bn. Following a first closing in August 2015, the fund expects to hold a final close in Q3 2016.
