Transys

In June 2012 Maven completed the profitable sale of its investment in Transys Projects Limited (Transys) to the German engineering concern Vossloh Kiepe, the rail transportation division of MDAX listed Vossloh AG. The exit achieved a 2x money multiple return for Maven clients.

Birmingham based Transys is provides turnkey and engineering consulting solutions relating to the maintenance and enhancement of rail rolling stock. Maven client funds supported the original management buyout of the company in April 2002, and following the investment significantly extended its engineering proposition and developed important client relationships across the UK and international markets.

The sale allows Transys to explore new and larger market opportunities as part of an international engineering group, supported by the financial strength and technical expertise of Vossloh group.

The dedication and effort of the Transys management team, alongside strategic and business support provided by a senior Maven executive throughout the life of the investment, has helped establish the company as a highly regarded operator in the UK rail engineering market.
