Quantum Capital Partners (QCP) has recently announced that one of its investment funds completed the divesture of Vauste Spain SL to the “Swiss-UAE” DSA Group. Vauste Spain SL, based in Gijón, Asturias, northern Spain, produces shock absorber systems for the automotive supply industry as well as high-end magnesium components for automotive, rail, aerospace, defense, health and electronic industries. The end products include both accessories and spares and are used in a number of products of world first-class brands. Vauste’s business operations are highly internationalized, a feature that remarks the key aspects of the company’s corporate strategy since Quantum’s acquisition: The use of cutting-edge technology, the deployment of extensive manufacturing experience and the incorporation of strong, sustainable customer service. As of today, the company employs a total workforce of 132 employees.
Quantum acquired Vauste Spain SL as a highly complex carve-out from US global corporate Tenneco (NYSE:TEN) in April 2016 and subsequently organized major commercial, operational and machine investments, which turned the company into a European pioneer in the area of high-end magnesium parts. In October 2018, Vauste inaugurated a brand-new magnesium components manufacturing plant in Asturias, the first of its class and technology in Asturias.
Fernando Sáez, CEO of Vauste, who will continue in his position under the DSA Group, comments: “Quantum has successfully completed the carve-out process and expansion of Vauste into new markets with new clients. In this new phase under DSA, Vauste will consolidate its investments and further expand its activities with our clear focus on operational excellence, quality, technology and customer service, always keeping in mind the interests of all stakeholders”.
