Thermal Management Solutions has been formed by Cartesian Capital Group and the former Arlington Industries Thermal Management Solutions management team and has successfully executed two merger and acquisition processes in the UK and Germany.
The transactions bring together the Thermal Management division of the former Arlington Group with three global thermostat brands: Dauphinoise Thomson, Magal and Wahler, with a global footprint across six countries.
“The newly-formed Group brings together [a] pool of technical experience and delivers global market position and depth to provide both existing and new customers and suppliers with numerous advantages in navigating these times in the automotive sector,” said Thermal Management Solutions CEO, Mark Franckel.
“Leveraging the backing of Cartesian Capital Group and the expertise of the Dauphinoise Thomson, Magal and Wahler brands, creates a commercially robust entity much stronger than the sum of its individual components.”
