Blaumar Capital and Inveready buy a majority stake in parts supplier Blinker

The story so far, in brief; the legwork, and the full article, stay with the original outlet.

Blaumar Capital and Inveready, the latter through its Inveready Private Equity II fund, have bought a majority of BK Professional Components Holding, S.L., the parent of Grupo Blinker. No price was given. Blinker supplies the auxiliary materials that professionals use for repair, maintenance and installation in automotive, industrial vehicles, construction, metal, wood and nautical work, as well as to maintenance staff and installers. It has more than 30,000 customers across Spain, Portugal and France, over 30 years of history and a presence in more than 25 countries, and it expects revenue of close to €74 million in 2026, about 10% more than the year before.

The founding partners, who stay involved, say the new owners bring the resources for international growth, a stronger distribution business and a wider set of suppliers. The plan also includes looking for companies to consolidate, and Inveready's Ramón Resa mentioned both organic and inorganic growth, which is the private-equity way of saying the shopping may not be over.

Blaumar was founded in 2022 and describes itself as having more than five years of experience, a timeline that takes a moment to work out; it has four companies in its portfolio. Inveready manages more than €2.7 billion, has run over 50 funds and backed 275 companies in more than 18 years.
