Addtech acquires Poryan China Company Ltd

Addtech Power Solutions, a business area in the Addtech Group, has today signed an agreement to acquire 75 % of the shares outstanding in Poryan China Company Ltd.

Poryan China Company Ltd provide component solutions and subsystems in circuit protection primarily to the train and signaling market in China. Poryan has own establishments in Hongkong and Shanghai. Poryan has 22 employees and sales of around SEK 50 million.

Both companies represents the same global leading supplier within circuit protection.

The closing is estimated to take effect in the beginning of April 2016. Derreck Lau, Managing Director of Poryan and one of the existing owners, will until further notice own the remaining 25% of the shares. The acquisition is estimated to have a marginally positive effect on Addtech’s earnings per share during the coming financial year.
