We advised the owners of Högfors in the sale of the Company to German ARI-Armaturen Group. Högfors Oy is a Finnish butterfly valve manufacturer who develops and manufactures a wide range of manual and automated butterfly valves and also provides ball valves both for a vast variety of applications in the power and process industry. Since its establishment in 1927 Högfors has become a trusted partner with a strong market position namely in the district heating industry.

ARI-Armaturen Group is a German family owned company that was founded in 1950. It has over 800 employees and operates directly in 16 countries and has a partnership network in over 50 countries worldwide. Högfors will complement ARI’s wide product program of industrial valves, especially in the area of metal-seated high-performance butterfly valves. At the same time, Högfors will benefit from synergies in sales, production, sourcing and engineering.

It was a pleasure to work with Clearwater. With their help, we were able to find the best new owner for Högfors, who can support the company’s growth strategy and strengthen its international operations. We are extremely pleased with the outcome and the way Clearwater guided us through the process.
