GUTOR acquired by LATOUR CAPITAL

Latour Capital has completed the acquisition of Gutor from Schneider Electric as part of a broader divestment program aimed at streamlining the seller’s portfolio and focusing on core activities. The transaction marks a strategic carve-out of a highly specialized industrial business with strong global positioning in uninterruptible power supply systems. The deal reflects Latour Capital’s strategy of acquiring carve-outs and standalone industrial champions with significant potential for operational improvement and international expansion. Gutor, a global leader in engineered UPS systems, benefits from a strong installed base, high barriers to entry, and long-term customer relationships across critical infrastructure sectors such as energy, oil and gas, nuclear, mining, and transport systems. Following the transaction, Latour Capital intends to work closely with Gutor’s management team to support its transition into an independent company. The priority is to ensure a smooth separation from Schneider Electric while preserving operational continuity, customer relationships, and service quality. The carve-out process is expected to be completed in the months following signing, with a full operational separation targeted for summer 2023. Growth prospects are driven by strong structural trends, including global electrification, increasing demand for resilient power infrastructure, and the expansion of data centers and industrial automation. Gutor’s ability to design highly customized UPS systems with long operational lifespans positions it favorably to capture these trends.
