Xtrac

About 

Inflexion’s investment into Xtrac enabled the motorsport transmissions specialist to expand its manufacturing capacity through a state-of-the-art facility extension and strengthen its EV capabilities before the sale to MiddleGround Capital. 

Xtrac is the world leader in the design and manufacture of high-performance transmissions for the motorsport, hypercar and supercar industry. The business supplies most of the world’s top motorsport teams in both two- and four-wheeled racing categories across the globe, including Sportscar racing, NASCAR and Formula 1™. Xtrac is also at the forefront of hybrid and electric vehicles developments. 

Value acceleration

Following the investment by Inflexion, Xtrac broadened its product offering and significantly strengthened its electric vehicle transmission capabilities, with the overall revenue contribution of hybrid and electric vehicle transmissions systems more than tripling. In addition, the product offering and customer base was strengthened to include new hypercar models. 

The investment enabled Xtrac to expand its manufacturing capacity with the opening of a significant state-of-the-art manufacturing facility extension, opening of the in-house Xtrac Academy apprentice training centre, and expansion of its US operation, whilst investing in its workforce with the number of highly skilled high-value manufacturing staff and engineers increasing by close to 50% to over 450 staff.
