Divested Chinese boiler business unit to A-TEC Industries
2007
Business Development Asia LLC (“BDA”) is pleased to announce that Global Power Equipment Group (“Global Power”; OTC:GEGQQ.PK) has entered into an agreement with A-TEC Industries subsidiary AE&E Group GmbH, for the sale of Global Power’s China boiler business, located in Nanjing, China. The sale comprises Global Power Asia Limited (“GPAL”), a Hong Kong company, including GPAL’s 90% ownership stake in Deltak Power Equipment (China) Co. Ltd. (“DPEC”). DPEC was acquired in July 2004, since when it has primarily supported the Heat Recovery Steam Generator (“HRSG”) business line of Global Power as a manufacturing facility. It was identified as non-core following the decision to withdraw from the large HRSG market in autumn 2006.
The transaction is expected to close in approximately one month and is subject to certain conditions including Bankruptcy Court approval. The disposal is part of Global Power’s strategy to exit from Chapter 11 creditor protection. Both GPAL and DPEC are non-debtor affiliates of Global Power and were not subject to the US Chapter 11 filings.
BDA was the exclusive financial advisor to Global Power in connection to the sale, which was conducted as a competitive auction process.
John Matheson, President and CEO of Global Power, said: “We have valued our relationship with our associates in Nanjing and wish AE&E great success.”
Christian Schmidt, Member of the Management Board of A-TEC Industries and of the Supervisory Board of AE&E, stated: “This acquisition in China represents another important step into the Asian growth market for AE&E.”
