Post by Flender

Today we are announcing that our current owner The Carlyle Group has agreed to sell Flender to Triton Partners, marking an important step in our ongoing development. Over the past years, we have successfully strengthened our position as a global leader in drivetrain solutions—expanding our footprint, advancing innovation, and growing our service business. With this strengthened platform in place, Flender is well positioned for the future. With the transition to Triton Partners, we are now preparing for the next phase of growth.   As our CEO Andreas Evertz puts it: “I would like to express my sincere thanks to Carlyle for the trust and support they have provided in positioning Flender to be a market leader. I am also pleased to again have a strong partner in Triton, with whom we can further advance our growth ambitions.”   Willi Westenberger, a Managing Director on the Carlyle Europe Partners investment advisory team, and Janine Feng, Vice Chair of Carlyle Asia, said: “In initially carving out Flender, we saw an opportunity to support a market-leading business through its transition to a successful standalone company. We thank Andreas, the management team, and employees for their partnership and believe Flender is well-positioned for further success.”   Claus von Hermann, Fund Managing Partner & Co-Head of Triton Mid-Market, and Jaime Legeren Alvarez, Investment Advisory Professional at Triton Partners, said: “Flender is at the core of Triton Partners’ investment strategy. The company operates in a sector where Triton has strong expertise and a successful track record in similar industrial and aftermarket businesses. We look forward to partnering with management and employees and to support Flender’s next step of its growth journey.”   With Triton Partners, we have found a partner who shares our ambition to continue our growth journey and build on our strong foundation.   👉 The transaction is subject to customary approvals and expected to close in Q4 2026.
