Silverfleet Capital is about to acquire Phase One. The rumors are that Silverfleet Capita will buy a 60% stake in the company. Henrik Håkonsson, CEO of Phase One, justifies this operation by the need for Phase One to increase their equity to be able to grow by acquisitions.
Back in 2011 Blackstone acquired a 44% stake in Leica Camera and Hasselblad was bought by Ventizz Capital.
