Our pan-Baltic M&A team advised Fenner Dunlop, a part of the Michelin Group, on the acquisition of Technobalt Estonia, one of the largest conveyor services providers in the Baltics.
Conveyor services in focus
Founded in 1994, Technobalt operates mainly in Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania. Their main activity is the maintenance of conveyor systems and the sale of spare parts, as well as the design, sale and installation of conveyors, related equipment and accessories.
