We added commercial kitchen ventilation as a strategic growth platform a year and a half ago by the acquisition of Jeven and Interzon. What we have seen and learned so far supports our decision to enter this market and build a global market leader.
Tessu is a perfect match with our existing businesses with its strategic supply position centrally in Europe and a high level of competence in commercial kitchen ventilation systems engineering and management. It will be a great addition to our business and we look forward to the synergies we can realize."- says Axel Berntsson, President & CEO Absolent Group
The initial purchase price, on a cash and debt-free basis, is 5.3 MEUR. Further, there is an earn out of maximum 6 MEUR directly linked to the EBIT level performed over the next 24-months. Tessu will immediately be consolidated into Absolent Group. The acquisition is financed by cash and is expected to have a positive impact on earnings per share for 2021.
