Aerocan is a leading European manufacturer of aluminium aerosol cans, used for deodorants, cosmetics and in the pharmaceutical industry. When Equistone Partners Europe invested in Aerocan in 2008, the business needed investment to upgrade its production lines in its Czech factory and support through the financial crisis.
In addition to vital funding, Equistone provided assistance in modernising and expanding the company’s manufacturing plants as well as helping to sign up customers in new markets in Southern Europe and North Africa. With a 70% increase in profits and expansion into emerging markets well underway, Equistone sold Aerocan to Ball Corporation in 2011.
