Transaction
Cowen advised Twinner Group, the world’s most advanced specialist in the digitization of cars, on the acquisition of Hungarian hardware manufacturing start-up SHI-Scalable. Prior to the deal, Cowen had already assisted the company, which generates so-called Digital Twinns® of cars using vehicle scanners, in three rounds of financing and raised a total of more than EUR 40 million in capital for Twinner.
With the acquisition of SHI-Scalable, Twinner is able to produce vehicle scanners in-house. The resulting flexibility in supplying partners will give the company an edge over competitors who rely on overseas production of parts.
Together with SHI-Scalable, Twinner intends to continue its international expansion and further strengthens its presence in Germany.
