It’s been a fantastic journey so far, this may be down to Inflexion’s collaborative style of guiding instead of steering. They’re good at challenging us and we work as one team. It’s not an us and them; we have a proposition and discuss it together.

About 

Inflexion is backing Astrak’s founding family to accelerate the international growth of the undercarriage and wear parts specialist, organically and through acquisitions.

Astrak is a global specialist supplier of undercarriage and wear parts for tracked machinery and earthmoving equipment. Based in Scotland, Astrak employs over 180 people globally, serving more than 17,000 loyal customers.

Value acceleration 

Inflexion is working with Astrak to increase its share in its current markets whilst expanding into new territories. Inflexion is using its significant M&A experience to support Astrak’s growth through select acquisitions in a fragmented global market, with five acquisitions already in the UK, Sweden, Canada, New Zealand and Australia providing additional footholds in North America, Scandinavia and Oceania. The US is now one of Astrak’s largest geographies, built on the sales footprint of an early acquisition and organic investment in a US office and local inventory.
