INFLEXION takes majority stake in MARIOFF
Context
Inflexion signed a definitive agreement to acquire Marioff, the Finnish manufacturer of high-pressure water mist fire suppression systems, which generated net sales of €232m. The transaction was structured as a carve-out from Spectrum Safety Solutions, a portfolio company of Sentinel Capital Partners, which kept a minority stake alongside Inflexion. The perimeter covered the whole of the business, from product development and manufacturing through installation to its maintenance and spare parts activity. Spectrum Safety Solutions had itself acquired Marioff as part of a wider industrial safety portfolio carved out from Carrier Global. Inflexion invested through its sixth buyout fund, in its seventh investment in the Nordic region. Baird acted as exclusive financial adviser to Inflexion, with Avance as legal counsel, while J.P. Morgan advised Spectrum Safety Solutions and Sentinel Capital Partners.

Target
Headquartered in Vantaa, Finland, Marioff develops and manufactures high-pressure water mist fire suppression systems. Its technology extinguishes fires by atomising water into a fine mist under high pressure, which uses a fraction of the volume conventional sprinklers require and limits the damage caused to the equipment being protected. It engineers the systems, manufactures the equipment, installs it on site and services it over its life, supplying spare parts and maintenance. Its customers are operators of data centres, naval and commercial vessels and industrial facilities worldwide.
