June 2, 2026 – Novastone Partners is proud to announce the successful closing of the acquisition of Savaria Ipartechnika Kft., a high-performing precision machining company based in Hungary, by entrepreneur and new CEO Aron Szabo through Novastone’s Operator-Led Buyout Program. This transaction marks Novastone Partners’ 2nd acquisition in the Hungarian market and underscores the firm’s continued expansion.
Headquartered in Gencsapáti, Savaria Ipartechnika has built a compelling reputation for precision, operational excellence, and technical depth — serving customers in highly demanding industrial applications and competing successfully across international markets. The company’s robust fundamentals and skilled workforce made it a standout acquisition target.
Aron Szabo brings experience across private equity, industrial operations, and entrepreneurship. Throughout his career, he has led the merger of industrial businesses and founded multiple profitable companies. He was drawn to Savaria for its strong operating foundation and specialized capabilities.
The acquisition provides a succession solution for the company’s owners, who were seeking a gradual transition as they shift their focus to other ventures. To support continuity, the former CEO will remain with the business as Co-CEO.
The transaction was sourced through Invescom Corporate Finance following a targeted acquisition search. Throughout the process, Novastone provided comprehensive support to Aron across deal underwriting, transaction structuring and investor relations, while Széchenyi Alapok Zrt. (SZTA) played an instrumental role as anchor investor and provided critical support in completing the transaction. In a strong signal of conviction, Aron personally committed a significant portion of the equity alongside Novastone’s institutional investor base — aligning his interests fully with those of the company’s future stakeholders.
Thank you Aron, the NCA team and everyone involved. It’s a great achievement.
“Savaria Ipartechnika is exactly the kind of business we look for at NCA — a well-run company with real competitive strength, a loyal customer base, and a clear runway for growth under the right leadership. Aron embodies the operator-entrepreneur profile that makes our model work, and we are thrilled to be backing him on this journey. This closing is a proud milestone for NCA as we deepen our footprint in Europe. ” ~Daniel Gärtner, Managing Partner, Novastone Partners.
“Taking on the leadership of Savaria Ipartechnika is both a privilege and a responsibility I do not take lightly. I have been impressed by the quality of the team and what this company has built over the years. I invested a significant part of my own capital alongside our investors because I genuinely believe in what we can accomplish together. I am grateful to the entire Novastone team, our partners, and our investors for their trust and support throughout this process — we are just getting started.” ~Aron Szabo, CEO, Savaria Ipartechnika Kft.
