Carlyle has agreed to sell Flender, a supplier of mechanical drive technology for industrial and wind energy applications, to Triton Fund 6, advised by Triton Partners. The transaction is subject to customary regulatory approvals and is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2026. Financial terms were not disclosed.
Headquartered in Bocholt, Germany, Flender supplies gearboxes, couplings and generators for a range of industrial sectors and the wind energy industry. The company employs more than 8,000 people across 34 countries and operates a global manufacturing, assembly and service network.
Flender was carved out from Siemens in 2021. Since then, Carlyle has worked with the company's management team to support its development as an independent business.
