MCF advises Renta Group on the acquisition of YRC Täby AB and YRC Uppsala AB
Renta Group Oy (“Renta”), a leading Nordic construction equipment rental company, has acquired 100 % of the shares in YRC Täby AB (“YRC Täby”) and YRC Uppsala AB (“YRC Uppsala”) from their respective owners. Through this transaction, Renta, which is majority owned by Intera Partners, continues their expansion in the Stockholm region. MCF advised Renta and helped facilitate the transaction through its deep knowledge of the industry and proven ability to successfully originate and execute bilateral transactions. The transaction also represents MCF’s 3rd successful mandate for Renta.
The Deal
Through the acquisition, Renta further strengthens its position in the Swedish rental equipment market through increased coverage of the large and important Stockholm area, securing full availability, service and offering in the region.
The Target
YRC Täby and YRC Uppsala have up until the acquisition been operating under a common YRC brand, but with separated ownership. Both companies focus on general equipment rental services with a broad offering, operating one depot in Stockholm and one in Uppsala.
Client statement
Joacim Johansson, CEO of Renta Sweden, said: “The YRC acquisitions represents an important strategic step in Renta’s continued expansion for our core markets. Once more, the MCF team has provided us with great support throughout the entire process. Even if the transaction proved to be challenging at times, with a complex structure and complicated coordination needs, MCF led all activities in an excellent way, and delivered clear and direct communication in a positive manner.”
