Astorg has directed its Steliau platform to acquire electronic component distributor Acal BFI in a strategic expansion move. This acquisition strengthens Steliau's position in the European electronics supply chain, enhancing their distribution capabilities and product portfolio for industrial clients.

Separately, Bridgepoint has invested in Stockfiller, a grocery logistics platform serving thousands of buyers across Sweden. Stockfiller represents over 80% of grocery retail stores in the country, making this investment a significant play in the Nordic grocery supply chain optimization space.

These deals reflect continuing private equity interest in specialized distribution and logistics platforms. The grocery sector particularly attracts investors seeking resilient business models with recurring revenue streams amid shifting consumer purchasing patterns and supply chain digitization.
