Norma Group rejects offers from Carlyle, PAI and Triton, reveals Bloomberg

If you thought private equity firms had given up trying to do big deals in Europe then think again.

According to Bloomberg hack Aaron Kirchfeld, Carlyle, PAI and Triton approached Germany-listed Norma Group late last year with offers.

Those approaches came after Norma Group - which makes hose clamps and pipe connections for cars and washing machines - explored a potential sale with advisors, claims Bloomberg.
