Our investment

We acquired Meyn from the founding family when the company was in financial distress and supported management in executing a comprehensive turnaround. Together, we implemented an extensive operational improvement programme and strategically refocused the business on its largest market, the United States, and on the higher-margin aftermarket segment. Under our ownership, Meyn was transformed into a profitable and growing global leader. The company was acquired in 1999 by Talon, a US-based investment group, to support its continued international expansion.
