Alantra has advised the shareholders of Aspen Pumps, the global leader in the design and manufacture of air conditioning pumps, on the £105m sale of the business in a secondary management buy-out backed by 3i Group Plc. The business was previously backed by Inflexion Private Equity.

As a global brand, Aspen operates in over 100 countries both designing and manufacturing air conditioning condensate removal pumps, HVAC installation accessories and mounting systems. Aspen’s products are designed around the needs of installation engineers to enable both efficient and professional installations of HVAC equipment. Under Inflexion’s period of ownership, Aspen has seen tremendous growth with a focus on product innovation meaning it now has the largest, most user-friendly range of pumps and accessories on the market.

Aspen, under their Big Foot Systems brand, is also increasingly providing complex and high value specification and design services to contractors who install roof mounted equipment on buildings using their mounting frames and systems.
