Tikehau Capital has signed a binding agreement to acquire ScioTeq, a specialist in ruggedised display and computing solutions for the aerospace and defence industries, from OpenGate Capital. The deal will be completed through Tikehau’s dedicated aerospace and defence fund.

OpenGate acquired ScioTeq in 2021 via a carve-out from TransDigm Group. Under its ownership, the company has expanded its presence across global aviation, defence, and air traffic control markets, supplying high-performance visualisation and mission-critical electronics to clients worldwide.

ScioTeq brings over 40 years of experience and global reach, with engineering, manufacturing, and sales operations spanning multiple continents. Its products are known for their reliability, precision, and support in high-demand environments.

OpenGate will retain a minority stake in the business and continue to support ScioTeq’s growth strategy alongside Tikehau. The deal is expected to close by Q4 2025, subject to regulatory clearance in relevant jurisdictions.

Lazard advised OpenGate on the transaction, with legal support from McDermott Will & Emery.
