STOCKHOLM--Swedish private-equity firm EQT AB said late on
Monday that it has agreed to sell Dorner Holding Corp. to Columbus
McKinnon Corp. in a deal worth $485 million.
The EQT Mid Market U.S. fund bought conveyor-systems
manufacturer Dorner in 2017 from Incline Equity Partners.
"With the support of EQT, Dorner continued to grow organically
to solidify its position as a leading global industrial technology
business," EQT said.
"Substantial investments were made to integrate previous
acquisitions [...] Research and development was also prioritized,
resulting in industry-leading new product developments in
additional end markets, such as life sciences and e-commerce, with
many more products in the pipeline," the company added.
The transaction is subject to customary conditions and approvals
and is expected to close in the second quarter of 2021.
