Mirai Opens Up Capital of Subsidiaries Innometal and Ohmnia
Cuatrecasas has advised the Mirai industrial group on opening up the capital of its subsidiaries, Innometal and Ohmnia Electronics, to a combination of a public and private partners. In the context of this transaction, the Basque Government (through its Finkatuz fund), the Vital Foundation and the Carmen Lequerica family office have acquired a 49% stake in both companies.
The entry of these new shareholders reinforces Mirai’s commitment to consolidate and diversify its presence in the electromechanical sector and also ensure that its companies are firmly rooted in the Basque Country. Innometal and Ohmnia Electronics, which together have over 900 employees and a combined turnover of €180 million, have eight factories in the Basque Country and maintain a strong link with local industry, with 50% of their purchases going to suppliers in the region.
The Finkatuz fund, managed by the Basque Institute of Finance (IVF), has contributed €35 million, while the Vital Foundation and the Carmen Lequerica family—through the Irene Carmen Lequerica holding company—have invested €17.5 million each. The Vital Foundation, a shareholder of Kutxabank, has invested in Innometal and Ohmnia Electronics, in line with its commitment to Álava, a region to which both companies will transfer their headquarters and where they have a solid industrial base and 200 employees.
