TECNIKABEL takes majority stake in EIS WIRE & CABLE

Tecnikabel has completed the cross-border acquisition of a majority stake in US-based EIS Wire & Cable (« EIS »). The transaction was executed via a private, bilateral process driven by strong industrial complementarities. The financing was structured through Tecnikabel’s existing banking pool, with a key 45% co-investment from Italian public entity SIMEST (CDP Group) via its subsidized Fund 394, co-managed with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. To ensure continuity, EIS’s management team, led by President Nicholas Moceri, will retain a significant minority stake. Tecnikabel will fully maintain the EIS brand, all employees, and the Massachusetts production facility. Advisors included Dresner Partners, Ethica, McDermott, Schulte, and PwC. This transaction accelerates Tecnikabel's international growth, expanding its presence in the high-value US defense electronics and factory automation sectors. Supported by Andera Partners, Equiter, and the Garaffi family, the group consolidates its position as a global engineering supplier across North America, Europe, and Asia. EIS brings a revenue base exceeding $40 million, a stable tier-one client network (including the US Navy and global allies), and over 700 UL/CSA certifications. Plugging EIS into Tecnikabel’s R&D and commercial platform will unlock significant cross-selling opportunities for advanced connectors while successfully hedging European macroeconomic exposure.
