Continued internationalization with a financial sponsor

Deal Flash

The owners of Zephyr Group, one of the main European companies specializing in the distribution of spare parts for merchant and slow-ferry ship engines, as well as for power plant engines, have sold a majority stake in the company to Italian private equity firms DeA Capital Alternative Funds and VSL Club. 

DeA Capital is a leading Italian private equity firm. Through its Sviluppo Sostenibile fund, it intends to support Zephyr Group in a growth process that envisions expansion into new strategic markets, add-ons and the extension of the product range and services offered to customers. 

This transaction is a further step for the future growth of our group on a path towards internationalization which began with the acquisition of Skandiaverken. I would like to thank the Oaklins team for their outstanding support and for having guided us all the way. PAOLO CASTAGNET, CEO, ZEPHYR GROUP, ITALY
