EQT to sell Dellner Couplers to Wabtec

Since EQT acquired Dellner in 2019, the Company has strengthened its commercial organization and improved its product portfolio through, for example, the acquisition of CAF MiiRA's coupling business and targeted investments in research and development. Dellner has also strengthened its sustainability credentials by introducing increased environmental standards across its operations and supply chain. Supported by an experienced industrial board led by Chairman Klaus Deller, these efforts have strengthened Dellner's market position and laid the foundation for continued growth and innovation.
