Telnet produces fiber optic cables (FO cables) and passive optical components (POC) with clients such as the main operators in the country, Telefónica, Orange or Vodafone, among others, and industrial companies such as Iberdrola, REE, or Renfe / Adif, among others, with more than 40 % of sales internationally.
The company, founded in 1996, expanded for decades in various business lines, in addition to FO Cables and POC, such as the development and manufacturing of 5G antennas and GPON equipment. These areas required a relevant R&D investment that was financed with debt. However, when the demand did not grow as expected, as a consequence of a slowdown in the deployment by operators resulting from the Covid-19 pandemic and macro instability in the context of the war in Ukraine, among other factors, the debt burden was impossible to assume leading the company to an unavoidable transformation process.
Endurance’s corporate transaction has enabled the company to clean up the company’s balance sheet completely and provide the financial and operational resources to continue its growth path focusing on fiber optic lines and passive optical components in relevant FO markets in Europe.
Alco rents equipment and machinery for construction and industry and designs/ builds temporary and permanent pre-fabricated modules from four operating bases in Spain, Chile and Colombia.
The company was established in 1964 and grew organically and inorganically (build-up of 5 companies together with a renowned national private equity fund), reaching a turnover of c. €87M and EBITDA of c. €28M in 2007.
The financial crisis and a 95% contraction of the company’s market triggered an operating deterioration that ultimately made the debt burden unassumable. Upon Endurance’s investment, Alco cleaned up its balance sheet completely and reversed a long trend of operational deterioration, with a positive result since its acquisition and with significant growth, based on its wide portfolio of machinery, scaffolding, platforms and modules, and its base of more than 4,000 clients.
