Throughout its ownership, EQT Opportunity supported management in setting up TitanX as a separate company, expanding the organization and the global footprint, as well as driving the growth strategy of the company, both on the OEM and the aftermarket side of the business.

In 2013, Fouriertransform AB, an investment company controlled by the Swedish government, partnered with EQT Opportunity and became a minority investor in TitanX.

Together, EQT and Fouriertransform continued the development of TitanX and at the time of exit in 2016, TitanX had secured contracts with Volvo Trucks, Scania and Daimler Trucks and had become a leading player in the wester heavy Duty truck cooling space.

In 2016, EQT Opportunity and Fouriertransform sold TitanX to TATA Autocomp Systems Limited, a leading Indian auto-component conglomerate and a subsidiary of the Indian TATA Sons.
