Munich, 29 August 2025 – AEQUITA SE & Co. KGaA, a global industrial group headquartered in Munich, Germany, has acquired the European needle roller bearing (NRB) business from JTEKT Group. Serving automotive, industrial, and aerospace & defense customers, the business generates revenues of more than EUR 100 million, employing a workforce of around 1,200 across its four production sites in Germany, France, and the Czech Republic.
Following a strategic review, JTEKT decided to divest the business to focus on its core markets and operations. Based on its profound industry know-how, carve-out expertise, and thorough industrial concept, AEQUITA was selected as the partner of choice by JTEKT.
Christoph Himmel, Managing Partner at AEQUITA, said: “We would like to thank JTEKT for entrusting us with the further development of the business, which is a great addition to our automotive portfolio. Over the last couple of months, we have worked closely with JTEKT to ensure a seamless transition. Looking ahead, we, together with the skilled and experienced employees, will build on the company's great reputation, delivering best-in-class roller bearing solutions to our blue-chip customers.”
