Kynetec

About 

Inflexion carved Kynetec out of its listed German parent GfK and supported international expansion and acquisition-led growth, including the transformational purchase of Germany-based Kleffmann.  

Kynetec delivers innovative data-driven market information to the agriculture and animal health markets, providing detailed insight into their customers’ end markets and strategic opportunities. The business serves a wide range of long-standing blue-chip customers and in 2021 was sold to a US investor. 

Value acceleration 

We used our carve-out experience, internationalisation and M&A expertise to drive growth for Kynetec. After a complex carve-out from a German corporate, Inflexion established Kynetec as an independent standalone company and strengthened the firm’s operations in North and South America, Asia and Europe, resulting in a global business operating in 30 countries.  

Our M&A experience helped Kynetec to complete the transformational purchase of Germany-based Kleffmann, its largest competitor, as well as four additional complementary acquisitions to add new geographies and products, while our international expert in Brazil supported the opening of Kynetec's Latin American business.
