(MANNARINO), a recognized leader in advanced R&D technology engineering. This transaction marks a key step in Scalian’s external growth strategy, supported by Wendel (Euronext: MF.FP) since its acquisition in 2023. The acquisition is being funded through a mix of drawdown on Scalian’s existing committed credit facilities and shareholders’ equity contribution. In addition, the transaction has required particular attention to cross-border legal aspects.

The Group generated sales of €550 million in 2023 and plans to reach €1.5 billion in revenues by 2028. With expected FY 2024 revenue of approximately $CAD 32 million and approximately 150 employees, the relutive acquisition of MANNARINO will enable Scalian to strengthen its expertise in electric Vertical Take-Off and Landing (e-VTOL) technologies and reinforce Scalian’s presence in North America while realizing synergies in Europe.
