Made-to-measure for manufacturing
In December 2004 Graphite Capital led the management buy-in/buy-out of Aktrion, a leading UK outsourced service provider to the print, automotive and food sectors.
Aktrion provides outsourced managed services to manufacturing clients, primarily in the printing, automotive and food sectors, in the UK and internationally. The company is a leading supplier to the national newspaper industry and has a strong position providing testing and quality services to UK and European car manufacturers.
Since Graphite’s investment, turnover has increased strongly as the business has acquired new customers and expanded into new sectors.
In addition, the company has significantly increased its international footprint, establishing a new presence in France, Poland and Slovakia and increasing the size of its Spanish and German offices.
In 2010 Aktrion acquired a majority interest in a food staffing business further broadening its industry sector coverage.
