3i selling spree gathers pace
PRIVATE equity outfit 3i yesterday continued its bout of selling portfolio companies by offloading German motor engine part maker Hilite International.
The deal, which is worth £384m, follows a series of disposals last year by the group, which made the company £669m.
Hilite has been sold to a subsidiary of Aviation Industry Corporation of China. The deal gives 3i cash proceeds of £155m.
