Triton Fund V advised by Triton Partners, has signed an agreement to sell Ewellix, a global innovator and manufacturer of linear motion and actuation solutions, to Schaeffler, the leading global supplier to the automotive and industrial sectors.

The company operates 6 manufacturing units across the US, Europe and Asia, enabling efficient delivery to its worldwide customer base.
