Formica Capital to invest in engcon, the global leading manufacturer of tiltrotators

June 1, 2022

Formica Capital has committed to acquire shares in engcon AB for up to 46 SEK per share. The acquisition of the shares is in connection with the company’s planned IPO on Nasdaq Stockholm, which is expected to be completed during the second quarter of 2022.

engcon is the world’s leading manufacturer of tiltrotators with a global market share of approximately 45 per cent. The Company was founded in 1990 with the ambition to change the world of digging through product innovation and a focus on end-users. The product offering includes tiltrotators, quick couplers, hydraulic and mechanical tools as well as control and safety systems that contribute to increased profitability, efficiency, flexibility, safety and sustainability.

engcon’s tiltrotators can increase the productivity of an excavator by approximately 25 per cent and can replace an average of 2.2 other construction machines. Further, each of engcon’s tiltrotators can help save up to 6,000 litres of fuel per year, which corresponds to approximately 16.2 tonnes of annual carbon dioxide emissions and approximately 113 tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions during an excavator’s lifetime.

The other cornerstone investors in the IPO of engcon are AP2, funds managed and advised by Capital Research, Handelsbanken Fonder, Nordstjernan, ODIN Funds, Strand Kapitalförvaltning and Svolder AB (publ).
