OC&C advises KYIP on its acquisition of Gestecno

We are delighted to congratulate KYIP on its acquisition of Gestecno S.r.l. (“Gestecno”), a leading Italian provider of advanced structural health monitoring (SHM) and geotechnical monitoring (GTM) solutions. OC&C supported KYIP on the transaction by providing commercial due diligence.

Founded in 1992 and headquartered in Castelraimondo, Italy, Gestecno specialises in the design, production and distribution of advanced monitoring systems for critical infrastructure, including bridges, tunnels, motorways and buildings. With strong proprietary expertise and a highly integrated production model, the company has established a leading position in the Italian market, delivering high-quality, reliable solutions to engineering firms and system integrators.

Gestecno operates in an attractive and growing market, underpinned by long-term structural trends including ageing infrastructure, increasingly stringent safety regulations, extreme weather events and rising investment in infrastructure maintenance and monitoring. The company is well positioned to capitalise on these trends, supported by its manufacturing excellence, technological expertise and strong customer relationships.

KYIP’s investment will support Gestecno’s next phase of growth, with a focus on strengthening its commercial capabilities, accelerating international expansion, increasing production capacity and broadening its portfolio of technology solutions. The investment also presents opportunities for targeted acquisitions to further enhance Gestecno’s product offering and technical capabilities.

The transaction reflects continued investor interest in the infrastructure monitoring sector, where growing demand for safety, resilience and predictive maintenance is creating attractive opportunities for specialist technology providers.
