Accessing global sales channels to accelerate Welotec’s growth strategy in the Edge Computing
Westermo, a business entity of Ependion, has entered into an agreement to acquire all shares in Welotec, headquartered in Laer, Germany. Through this transaction, Westermo strengthens its position in the rapidly growing energy segment and gains access to complementary new technology within Edge Computing. To partially finance the purchase price of MEUR 35.2, the Annual General Meeting on 13 May will be proposed to authorise the Board to decide on a directed share issue of approximately MSEK 300. A performance-based earn-out of up to MEUR 14.8 may be paid based on the company’s performance in 2025-2026.
ARTHOS acted as the exclusive financial adviser to the shareholders and management of Welotec in this transaction and provided full M&A sell-side advisory services. This included strategic advice, analysing international potential strategic partners, and, after negotiating and agreeing on the major terms in the LOI, driving the subsequent M&A process, including the coordination of the due diligence and the commercial terms of contract negotiations, to success.
