A few months after the transaction that led the One Equity Partners fund to take over the majority stake in Comau, the company led by Pietro Gorlier is beginning a phase of expansion thanks to the deal on Automha, an Italian company based in Bergamo that operates in warehouse automation and internal logistics, owned by Trasma.
"Comau's strategic investment represents a further step in the construction of a future-oriented Italian automation hub and will exploit the strong synergies between the two companies to create value for customers and shareholders in various markets around the world," underlines a note released by Comau.
Comau, one of the historical assets first owned by Fca and then by Stellantis, and today controlled by One Equity Partners, is a global player in the supply of advanced automation solutions, with more than 50 years of history behind it and a strong presence in the automotive and e-Mobility sectors, as well as in the development of advanced solutions in the robotics sector. It is headquartered in Turin, Italy, with 11 production plants and 3,800 employees.
Following the acquisition, Automha will continue to operate while maintaining its structure and management: Franco Togni, the founder of Automha, in particular, will retain the position of CEO, while Gianni Togni and Roberta Togni, in addition to continuing in their current roles, will join Comau's Executive Committee. The transaction is expected to be finalised in the second quarter of 2025.
