Nextpower today announced a deal to acquire Zimmermann PV Steel Group. The move is the latest in a series of deals and acquisitions from the US-headquartered company, as it moves beyond its traditional business as a supplier of PV tracker systems into segments including PV module frame manufacturing and energy storage.
Headquartered in Germany, Zimmermann has supplied mounting systems to more than 20 GW of projects and maintains a strong presence in European markets. Once the transaction is completed, it will change its name to Zimmermann PV, a Nextpower Company.
After close, Nextpower expects the acquisition to add €300 million in revenue and €45 million to its adjusted EBITDA. The deal is also set to more than double its presence in European markets, expanding its reach to an established customer base in 15 countries.
