Sun European Partners, a private investment firm, completed the acquisition of Sports & Leisure, an artificial turf systems provider covering a broad range of end-markets, countries, products and services, from Chequers Capital, a private equity firm, for $354m. "We are thrilled to have reached an agreement to acquire a company such as Sports & Leisure Group, a leading player, with an outstanding management team, operating in a very exciting and rapidly growing market. We think there are fantastic opportunities to further grow SLG both organically, building on the strong brands, as well as through selective acquisitions across geographies, building on their past acquisitions such as Limonta Sport, which we can now help further integrate," Mark Corbidge, Sun European Partners Managing Director.
