Macquarie Finalizes Acquisition of Offshore Wind O&M Company Ziton

January 9, 2025, by Adnan Memija

Macquarie Asset Management, through Macquarie European Infrastructure Fund 7, has completed the acquisition of Ziton, a provider of operations and maintenance (O&M) services to the offshore wind industry.

“This is a significant milestone for ZITON, as Macquarie’s investment validates the strong company we have built. With our solid market position, excellent customer relationships, and some of the best talent in the industry, we are well-positioned for the future,” said Thorsten Jalk, CEO of Ziton.

In September 2024, Macquarie European Infrastructure Fund 7 entered into a share purchase agreement with funds advised by Permira Credit and other existing shareholders to acquire shares of Zappy TopCo ApS and its wholly-owned subsidiary Ziton.

Ziton, based in Denmark, has recently expanded its fleet with the addition of a new jack-up vessel, WIND DISCOVERY, which was built in 2011. This brings the total number of O&M-dedicated jack-up vessels in the company’s fleet to six.

In May 2023, the firm signed long-term vessel agreements with the wind turbine maker Siemens Gamesa.
