The operating business sits inside the power infrastructure supply chain. ASTA makes highly insulated copper winding wires and rods used in transformers, generators and electric motors.

The capital increase generated approximately €125 million in gross primary proceeds. The offering also included existing shareholder shares, so the broader placement volume and the amount raised for ASTA serve different purposes. In the plans published before the flotation, management assigned roughly 40% of net proceeds to capacity expansion, including the Cazin site in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Recycling and casting investment, balance sheet flexibility and repayment of shareholder group loans were each assigned about 20%. These were stated uses of proceeds, not a report that every project had already been completed. Offer structure and investment plans.
