By Dominic Chopping

 

STOCKHOLM--EQT will sell its majority stake in Dunlop Protective Footwear to Gilde Equity Management, it said Tuesday.

The Swedish buyout group bought its stake in Dunlop--a global manufacturer of protective wellington boots--in 2018 from Gilde.

EQT said that during its ownership, Dunlop has enhanced its go-to-market approach in the U.S., cemented its sustainability credentials, made substantial investments in its digital platform and significantly expanded its e-commerce business.

Financial terms weren't disclosed.
