Ebara launches virtual antenna shop in Brazil

Ebara Bombas América do Sul Ltda (EBAS) has opened a Virtual Antenna Shop in Brazil.

The ecommerce site is a marketplace where the Brazilian company and its sales agents sell EBAS pumps. Dealers and sales agents register their inventories of EBAS products on the Virtual Antenna Shop platform. Customers can then select which products to buy after comparing prices and the location of sellers.

Product information including technical specifications, online help desk, or after sales support will be organised by EBAS. The sellers take care of delivery time, price and stock changes.

EBAS’s business partners include small family-run shops that may not be able to operate their own e-commerce sites. The Virtual Antenna Shop offers those small stores the opportunity to sell online even if they are not experts in e-commerce.

With the launch of the Virtual Antenna Shop, EBAS expects to strengthen its distribution channel in Brazil by maximising its business networks with over 5000 dealers as well as sales agents.

Last year, EBAS opened a physical antenna shop in Vargem Grande do Sul (VGS) in the northeast of Sao Paulo state, Brazil to showcase and sell pumps.

Roper Technologies Inc has agreed to sell a majority stake in its industrial businesses, including its entire Process Technologies segment and the industrial businesses within its Measurement & Analytical Solutions segment, to affiliates of private investment firm Clayton, Dubilier & Rice LLC (CD&R). Image © red150770 – stock.adobe.com. Roper will receive total upfront, pre-tax cash proceeds of approximately US$2.6 billion while retaining a 49% minority interest in a new standalone entity. The transaction includes the Cornell, FMI and Roper Pump businesses, as well as Alpha, AMOT, CCC, Dynisco, FTI, Hansen, Hardy, Logitech, Metrix, PAC, Struers, Technolog, Uson and Viatran. Together, these businesses generated approximately US$940 million of revenue and US$260 million of EBITDA in 2021. “This is the final step in Roper’s divestiture strategy to reduce the cyclicality and asset intensity of our enterprise,” said Neil Hunn, Roper Technologies’ president and CEO. “Selling a majority interest in these industrial businesses will provide Roper with significant upfront cash, while maintaining the ability to receive additional cash proceeds from the future exit of our minority interest.” “We are excited to partner with CD&R given their track record of successful corporate partnerships. Operating as a standalone entity will enable these businesses to build on their niche-leading strategies and continue creating value for their customers and shareholders,” added Hunn. John Stroup, operating advisor to CD&R Funds, will lead the standalone entity when the transaction closes.
