Highlander takes 60% stake in QFG

The buyout and capital increase will see the founders retain a 40% stake in QFG, with the fresh capital used to bolster the company's current production capacity as well as the construction of a new production plant in central Poland.

Highlander was attracted to QFG's growth rate and use of technology in its business model and development, the firm stated.

The Texas- and Warsaw-based GP has been very active in Poland this year, completing the exits of Łódź-based power transformer business ZREW Transformatory and Warsaw-based Medi-system in the first week of 2016.
