US-based investment fund Turnspire Capital Partners made its first investment in Turkey in Bursa. The fund acquired Meklas Automotive, one of Turkey's leading automotive parts manufacturers, through its portfolio company Infinity Engineered Products, the global exclusive supplier of Goodyear-branded air springs.
FOUNDED 39 YEARS AGO
Founded in 1986, Meklas Automotive is among Europe's significant spare parts manufacturers, particularly known for its air springs produced for commercial vehicles. This strategic acquisition aims to create a strong synergy on a global scale by combining the production and engineering capabilities of both companies. Additionally, there are plans to reposition Goodyear-branded air springs in European and other regional markets.
"WE ARE VERY EXCITED"
Infinity CEO Char Zawadzinski stated, "We are very excited to welcome Meklas to the Infinity family. With our combined resources and expertise, we will accelerate our growth, provide better service to our customers, and reach new markets."
"IT WILL PROVIDE OUR COMPANY WITH SIGNIFICANT PRODUCTION CAPACITY"
Turnspire Capital partner and Infinity Board Chairman Abel S. Osorio described the acquisition as a "transformative step," emphasizing that the agreement will provide Infinity with meaningful production capacity. Osorio noted that this merger paves the way for Goodyear air springs to expand into the EMEA region (Europe, the Middle East, and Africa).
