Provider of Industrial Automation Solutions

Reference: M001691

Mergers are actively seeking a Provider of Industrial Automation Solutions business on behalf of an Italy-based Trade Buyer. The acquirer is a well-established Italian manufacturer, designer, and distributor of industrial automation systems with a strong presence in the robotics and automation sector. In addition to system design and distribution, they offer maintenance, testing, and support services for complex automated systems and serve as a supplier of EPC (Engineering, Procurement, and Construction) plants. Backed by solid engineering expertise and international ambitions, they are looking to grow through strategic acquisitions in key global markets.

Industry Focus:

The acquirer is keen to expand its footprint in the industrial automation and robotics space. They are actively seeking companies involved in the manufacture, integration, and distribution of industrial automation solutions, particularly those with experience in system testing, servicing, and long-term maintenance contracts. Complementary technologies and solutions in advanced automation, control systems, or industrial robotics will be of significant interest.

Target Market:

Ideal targets will be established businesses with proven capabilities in delivering automation solutions to industrial clients across sectors such as manufacturing, automotive, electronics, energy, or logistics. Companies offering lifecycle support, aftermarket services, or custom-built automation solutions will be especially attractive. A strong engineering team, proprietary technologies, or a recurring revenue model will also be viewed favourably.

Financial Performance:

The target company must demonstrate a minimum EBITDA of €250,000. Consistent profitability, healthy margins, and transparent financial reporting will be key in the evaluation process. While larger companies are welcomed, opportunities in the lower mid-market with a solid growth trajectory will also be considered.

Geographic Location:

The acquisition strategy is focused on companies based in Europe and the United States. Preference will be given to businesses with a well-established market presence, local client relationships, and infrastructure that can support cross-border operations or integration with the acquirer’s Italian headquarters.
