Carlyle to acquire controlling stake in Ocmis

Carlyle is to acquire a controlling stake in Ocmis Group (Ocmis), a manufacturer of advanced irrigation systems for the agricultural market, partnering with historical shareholders including the Montorsi family and the management team.

Equity for the investment will be provided by Carlyle Europe Partners V (CEP V), a €6.4bn fund investing in European opportunities across a range of sectors and industries.
 
Founded in 1970 and headquartered in Castelvetro di Modena, Italy, Ocmis designs, manufactures and sells a comprehensive range of technologically advanced sprinkling irrigation solutions and related accessories for use in the agricultural sector. 

Carlyle will seek to continue Ocmis’ strong trajectory of growth in partnership with its management team by developing its commercial platform and marketing strategy, implementing operational best practice across the business, and by supporting international expansion through strategic M&A in the highly fragmented irrigation solutions market. The Group’s high quality manufacturing plants in Castelvetro will be further upgraded and expanded, creating a global centre of excellence in the production of sprinkling irrigation solutions.
