The acquisition of MB Elettronica (MB) was announced on 13 July 2025. The acquisition has been completed on 22 January 2026.
“We are very happy to welcome MB Elettronica to Scanfil.

This strategic acquisition accelerates Scanfil’s growth, especially in the Aerospace & Defense industry, which generated 40% of MB’s turnover in 2025. In addition, MB has a strong position in domestic Italian and Southern European markets, and within the Industrial and Medtech & Life Science customer groups.
Based on MB’s preliminary financial statement for the year 2025 the turnover was EUR 120.0 (98.4) million, an increase of 21.9% compared to 2024. Comparable EBIT was EUR 10.3 (6.8) million, up 49.7% from 2024 and the comparable EBIT margin was 8.6%, improving by 1.7 percentage points from 6.9% in 2024. The preliminary financial statement is unaudited.
The purchase price corresponds to an enterprise value of maximum EUR 123 million, of which EUR 91 million is in connection with completing the transaction. The remaining EUR 32 million will be paid based on MB’s financial performance in 2026 and 2027. The transaction was financed by Scanfil’s existing credit facilities.
