AEQUITA acquires Nifco Germany

Munich, 18 March 2024 - AEQUITA SE & Co. KGaA, a global industrial group headquartered in Munich, Germany, entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Nifco Germany GmbH, a subsidiary of Japanese Nifco Group.

It is an outstanding addition to our automotive sector. We look forward to supporting the company’s path towards sustainable growth in strong alignment with its experienced employees and longstanding relationships with its blue-chip customers.”
