Bridgepoint Agrees to Buy AHT Cooling From Quadriga

Bridgepoint Advisers Ltd., a London-based private-equity firm, agreed to buy Austrian refrigerator maker AHT Cooling Systems GmbH from Quadriga Capital for 585 million euros ($770 million).

“AHT is at an attractive point in its development, given the already solid continued growth of its core product,” Marc Zügel, a director at Bridgepoint, said in an e-mailed statement today. It “will target a significantly larger international market,” he said.
