The Pederzani family-owned EUROPART negotiated a contract with Triton for the sale of the company. Based in Hagen, Germany, EUROPART is a leading distributor of replacement parts for commercial vehicles with a sales volume of more than 400 million Euros in the year 2010 across 29 countries.

Triton is a leading European private equity corporation in the German-speaking and Scandinavian parts of the world with offices in Frankfurt, Stockholm, London, Jersey and Luxembourg.

Triton is looking forward to working closely with the management at EUROPART to strengthen the company's financial foundation by means of organic and acquisitive growth and development, as well as operational improvements. Triton's equity investment in Papyrus (Schneidersöhne), Europeís leading paper distributor, has already equipped the corporation with far-reaching expertise and a wealth of experience in the distribution sector.

Hans-Peter Artmann, Chief Executive Officer, EUROPART: "The executive management team is pleased with the end result of the corporate sale. Triton is the ideal partner for the next level of our development und we are looking forward to advancing the European internationalization and professionalization of our business together with Triton."
