European industrial storage systems manufacturer Averys acquires Storax

Averys is backed by private equity firm Equistone Partners Europe. The financial terms of the deal are undisclosed.

Founded over 50 years ago in Porto, Storax is a leading provider of industrial racking and shelving systems and is a well-known and active brand in the materials handling sector. The Group is the leading provider in the Portuguese market and has significant activities in Belgium, France and the UK. The Group generated total revenues of c.80 million euros in 2017. 

The acquisition provides Averys with a complementary industrial base in Southern Europe to support its existing customers. The deal also offers additional growth prospects for automated products such as shuttles, mobiles and silos that benefit from Storax Group’s brand image and technological expertise. 

Following its acquisition by Averys, Storax will continue to operate as an independent company with its own brand, while using Averys’ logistical support and commercial synergies.

This acquisition continues Averys’ strategy of combining significant organic growth with targeted acquisitions. 

The transaction remains subject to the approval of the European Competition Authorities and is expected to complete in Q2 2018.
