A&O Shearman represents lenders on Inflexion’s bid to acquire Marioff

Headquartered in Finland, the company operates in more than 70 countries. The investment is being made by Inflexion's Buyout Fund VI and is the seventh investment that Inflexion has made in the Nordic region. 

Temi Esho, debt finance partner at A&O Shearman, said: “Private credit continues to play a central role in getting deals like this done, showing lender appetite for high-quality businesses in resilient sectors remains strong. Marioff's global reach across more than 70 countries, combined with Inflexion's proven track record in the Nordics, made this a compelling proposition for the lending group. Our team worked hard to bring this together and it is a great example of the trust our clients place in us to deliver on complex cross-border financings.”

The A&O Shearman team was led by debt finance partners Denise Gibson and Temi Esho, alongside tax partner Esther Lemmon, senior associate Nicole Bourge, associates Swati Lal, Camille Tournie, Eunjee Chae, Eve Goodhart, and trainee Meron Haile.

Founded over 40 years ago and headquartered in Vantaa, Finland, Marioff delivers complete fire protection solutions and services across the full value chain, from development and manufacturing to sales, turnkey project execution, and lifecycle services.
