He believes that Triton's high level of commitment, strong network, and extensive experience demonstrated throughout the process represent the right next step for Flender.

Willi Westenberger, Managing Director of Carlyle's European Partners investment advisory team, and Janine Feng, Vice Chair of Carlyle Asia, stated that this investment supported Flender's transformation into an independent company. During the partnership, the business grew globally, including in China and India, repositioned itself as a service champion, and solidified its leadership in wind power and industrial drive technology.

Claus von Hermann, Managing Partner and Co-Head of Triton Mid-Market Fund, and Jaime Legeren, Investment Advisory Professional at Triton Partners, stated that Flender is central to Triton Partners' investment strategy and look forward to collaborating with management and employees to support Flender's next phase of growth.
