Acquisitions Strategy

In addition to our own product innovation, Phoenix Mecano has traditionally taken over companies in order to facilitate its entry into new sectors of the components market, primarily to accelerate the introduction of new products onto the market, but also in order to reinforce the local market.

Financing strategy

Phoenix Mecano finances its acquisitions and capital expenditure largely from its cash flow, without needing to raise new capital.

Purchases of tangible and intangible assets totalled EUR 41.9 million and EUR 5.3 million respectively in 2022. The largest single investment was the construction of a new industrial complex in Jiaxing, China, for which work began in 2020. The first production areas were relocated to the completed sub-complex in late 2022.
