    Inission grows in Finland through the acquisition of MLB Electronics Oy

    Inission AB (“Inission”), through its wholly owned subsidiary Inission Lohja Oy, has signed an agreement to acquire 100% ownership of MLB Electronics Oy (“MLB”). MLB is one of the most experienced contract manufacturers in Finland with a wide range of services throughout the manufacturing process. With this acquisition Inission will widen its portfolio and strengthen its position and presence in Finland.

     

    The price for acquiring 100% of the MLB shares is EUR 1.7 million with an additional purchase price of maximum EUR 0.6 million based on MLB’s revenue for year 2022 and 2023. The signing took place 21st of January 2022 and closing is planned to the 31st of January 2022.

     

    Overview of MLB

     

    Founded in 1977, MLB is an EMS (Electronics Manufacturing Services) company based in Lohja, Finland with 45 employees. In year 2021 MLB had a revenue of EUR 6.9 million with EBITDA of EUR 0,6 million. The customer portfolio is well distributed and includes customers within industry, MedTech and instruments.

     

    Strategic rationale

     

    Through the acquisition, MLB will be able to improve service and product offering to its existing and new customers in Finland. Inission will widen its customer base, increase competence, capacity, and resources to grow the EMS business in Finland.

    After the acquisition, MLB will be a subsidiary under Inission Lohja and will continue its operations out of their current facilities and organization on short-term basis with the exception that Inission Lohja’s CEO Pekka Väyrynen in addition to his current duties and responsibilities will succeed Rainer Backman as CEO of MLB. In medium-term, the companies will be merged to utilize the beneficial synergies these organizations can provide each other.

     

    The cash transaction is fully financed with loan of EUR 1.7 million by Inission’s bank according to Inission standard terms. The transaction is estimated to have a positive impact on revenue and operating profit (EBIT) of Inission in 2022.

    New manufacturing equipment

    Due to increased demand, we have invested in optimizing production processes by investing in production equipment. In November, we introduced a new Mirae SMA assembly line to meet the increased demand and at the same time acquired an Ersa selective soldering machine to balance the production load.

    MLB:llä tapahtuu

    Kuluneen kevään aikana teimme strategisen päätöksen keskittää kaikki toiminnot Lohjalle, lakkauttamalla Tsekin toimipiste. Kasvatamme ja tehostamme Lohjan tuotannon kapasiteettia, ottamalla käyttöön uuden ladontalinjan sekä selektiivisen juotoskoneen lokakuun aikana.

    Kapasiteetin noustessa, olemme kasvattaneet myös henkilöstön määrää. Henkilöitä on rekrytoitu laatutiimiin sekä tuotantoon. Näiden investointien avulla pyrimme kehittämään toimintaamme, jotta voimme myös jatkossa vastata joustavasti asiakkaiden kasvaviin tarpeisiin.

    IPC J-STD-001 kouluttajamme ovat kouluttaneet ensimmäisen ryhmän IPC J-STD-001 Specialisteja tuotantoomme ja jatkamme kouluttamista vuoden 2021 kevääseen.

    Pitkäaikainen ja arvostettu Tekninen Johtaja, Jan Nordbo jäi ansaitulle eläkkeelle syyskuun lopussa. Uutena Teknisenä Johtajana aloitti Jani Kettunen. Jani on toiminut pitkään MLB:llä ja työskenteli aiemmin Teknisenä asiantuntijana vahvassa yhteistyössä Jan Nordbon kanssa.
