Z-Power specializes in the assembly, retrofitting and manufacturing of type-tested switchboards, distribution panels, console, control systems, switchgears and other integrated marine automation products (see corporate video above).
The Z-Power vendors will be paid in two tranches, with the first tranche of S$10.56 million to be paid shortly after the completion of the acquisition.
The second tranche of S$2.64 million is to be paid on the first year of the completion of the acquisition.
The four will hold the remaining 20% stake and stay on at Z-Power for 3+3 years.

Apart from a handful of customers that are common to both companies, Z-Power will also provide XMH with significant exposure to a wider customer base to cross-sell its products.
The acquisition of Z-Power will also bring onboard the Niigata brand of main engines and propulsion systems for which Z-Power is an OEM, as well as the technical service and maintenance support.
This will further expand XMH’s suite of products which are synergistic to its core business of being a diesel engine, propulsion and power generating solution provider in the marine and industrial sectors.
