Nashik-based Rishabh Instruments Pvt Ltd has acquired 85 per cent stake in Poland-based Lumel S.A. for an undisclosed sum. The acquisition will give Rishabh a platform to expand into the European markets and also increase its product offerings by bringing Lumel’s products into India and other Asian markets where it operates.
Lodha Capital Markets acted as the sole financial advisor to Rishabh on this deal.

Established in Zielona Gora in Poland, Lumel S.A. is owned by the Polish State Treasury and has more than 570 employees on board. The company manufactures industrial automation systems and high-pressure castings.
“We see a lot of synergies in technology, markets, product development and sourcing. Rishabh and Lumel will share their technologies, markets, R&D capabilities and technical know-how, thereby enhancing the value proposition for both the companies,” said Narendra Goliya, founder and managing director of Rishabh Instruments.
