Volex plc, the global supplier of integrated manufacturing services and power products, is pleased to announce a 51% majority equity investment in inYantra Technologies Pvt Ltd for $8.0 million (the "Equity Investment") and the purchase of 13.5 acres of industrial land, which includes 3.5 acres of land and the operational buildings used by inYantra, in Pune, India (the "Property Purchase") for $5.0 million. The Equity Investment and Property Purchase consideration, totaling $13.0 million, will be satisfied in cash on completion from the Company's existing debt facilities. The Equity Investment and the Property Purchase are expected to complete in the next few weeks.
Strategic Rationale:
- inYantra has expertise in printed circuit board assembly and box build integrated solutions, operating from a dedicated manufacturing site. It has established customer relationships and over 500 employees, led by an entrepreneurial management team
- Pune, India, is a hub for advanced manufacturing and the location of one of Volex's largest medical customers. The Equity Investment creates substantial additional opportunities with this customer, as well as providing further growth potential from the domestic and export market
- The Equity Investment enables a strong combined cross-sell proposition to mid-volume industrial customers in the region
- The Equity Investment strengthens Volex's ability to provide flexibility and choice to its global customer base in the provision of its vertically integrated solutions, by adding a new manufacturing region to its unique international operating footprint
- Supporting this strong growth potential, the Property Purchase will allow for an expansion in the range of capabilities the site can offer following the construction of a new 100,000 square foot Medical and Complex Industrial Technology cable assembly facility, with the scope for further development to support expansion in Volex's other segments including consumer electrical and electric vehicles
Transaction Highlights:
- For the year ending 31 March 2022, inYantra is expected to generate revenues of approximately $22.0 million and EBITDA of approximately $1.6 million across consumer electrical and industrial markets
- The existing management team has delivered compound annual revenue growth of 38% in the last five years and will remain in place to deliver a joint business plan focused on further growth
Nat Rothschild, Executive Chairman of Volex, commented, "This transaction offers an excellent strategic opportunity to expand our global footprint, which is consistent with our strategy, and will bring new and strengthened capabilities in the key Indian market. inYantra's existing business, along with the imminent development of a complex cable assembly capability, will improve our customer offering, supporting low-cost manufacturing for existing and new domestic and export customers. Volex sees a further opportunity to improve inYantra's margins by allowing inYantra to leverage the economies of scale from being part of a larger group."

Marcy’s Musings: From Pitch to PO—The Sales Stack
07/21/2025 | Marcy LaRont -- Column: Marcy's MusingsIt is a foundational truth that a company lives and dies by its sales. Receiving that PO or contract starts the operational chain. It is the purest symbol of the machinations of the business process: You are paying me for something I am doing, making, or sourcing for you. Then, every single thing a business does in executing and fulfilling that sales agreement speaks directly to customer experience and whether more POs will follow. You won't keep customers if you don't make a quality product and provide strong customer service.
