Japan’s The Longreach Group has completed the acquisition of a 100% stake in RAM Lifting Technologies from Dymon Asia Private Equity, according to a press release on Friday (Feb 27).
BDA acted as the exclusive financial advisor to Longreach on the transaction, it said in the release.
RAM is a leading provider of spreaders and advanced lifting technologies for the global container handling equipment market, with five decades of engineering expertise and product innovation. The deal comes just four years after Dymon acquired RAM in 2022 through a carve-out from German lifting equipment maker Salzgitter Maschinenbau Group.
Headquartered in Singapore, the company is known for its highly customisable solutions, with spreaders operating in over 70 countries worldwide. RAM’s strong international footprint reflects its long-term customer relationships and reputation for engineering excellence.
Longreach’s cross-border industrial and technology investment experience across Japan and the broader Asia-Pacific region, combined with its global networks, complements RAM’s geographic reach, blue-chip customer base, and growth opportunities.
“RAM has built a strong global reputation in specialised lifting equipment through engineering excellence and deep customer relationships. We are delighted to have supported Longreach on this transaction and look forward to seeing the business continue its growth under their ownership,” said Simon Kavanagh, partner and head of Industrials at BDA.
Dymon was busy making exits last year, including from Spritzer Berhad, Hwa Hong Corp, IFS Capital, Amara Holdings, Select Group, and BookXcess. Some of its later investments include PT Surya Indo Plastic, WEO Corp, and Rico Cap Holdings.
