Laat­zen (Germany) — Funds advi­sed by Triton (“Triton”) have successfully comple­ted the sale of Aven­tics to Emer­son (NYSE: EMR). Aven­tics is one of the world’s leading compa­nies in the field of intel­li­gent pneu­ma­tic tech­no­lo­gies used in machine and factory auto­ma­tion. The parties have agreed not to disc­lose the purchase price.

Triton acqui­red Aven­tics in Decem­ber 2013 through a corpo­rate carve-out from Bosch. Under Triton’s owner­ship, Aven­tics’ manage­ment and advi­sory board have worked toge­ther on a number of impro­ve­ment initia­ti­ves to streng­then the company’s posi­tion as one of the world’s leading manu­fac­tu­r­ers of intel­li­gent pneu­ma­tic tech­no­lo­gies for machine and factory auto­ma­tion applications.

Key impro­ve­ment initia­ti­ves include the inter­na­tio­na­liza­tion of the busi­ness, the dive­st­ment of non-core busi­nesses, and effi­ci­ency gains in produc­tion. In prepa­ra­tion for the future, the digi­tiza­tion of the company was star­ted by intro­du­cing digi­tal tools. It also included occu­pa­tio­nal safety programs, invest­ments in product deve­lo­p­ment and the estab­lish­ment of a new global sales organization
