Vaaka Partners buys engineering firm A-Insinoorit

The GP is deploying equity from Vaaka Partners Buyout Fund III, which held a final close on its €225m hard-cap in March 2017 and typically invests €5-30m in Finnish SMEs, with a focus on funding international growth. 

The GP said in a statement that it was drawn to Ains Group's desire to internationalise and its leadership culture.

The GP is aiming to double the company's turnover by 2025 and expand internationally, starting with the Nordic region.
