DeA Capital's Tecnomeccanica bolts on Mea
DeA Capital-backed Tecnomeccanica has acquired Italian stamped metal parts manufacturer Mea from the Olsa industrial group.
The transaction was financed with capital deployed by Tecnomeccanica and a debt package provided by Banca Intesa.
Tecnomeccanica expects to reach a turnover of €27m following the acquisition and plans to expand its product offering in the automotive components sector.
DeA acquired a majority stake in aluminium foundry Tecnomeccanica in 2016 from the Agradi family, which retained a minority holding. The GP used its €100m vehicle Idea Efficienza Energetica e Sviluppo Sostenibile to finance the transaction.
Company
Founded in 1982 and based in Moncalieri, near Turin, Mea manufactures bushings, circuits and stamped metal parts for the automotive and electronic industries.
