  "account": "Platinum Equity is set to sell Italian maritime interiors company De Wave Group to private equity firm Renaissance Partners for roughly €400m, according to Reuters. The deal, which would see Platinum exit its investment in the Genoa-based firm, was acquired by Platinum in 2019, as reported by an unnamed source.\n\nTom Gores, founder of Platinum, who also owns the NBA’s Detroit Pistons, has been actively expanding De Wave through acquisitions since the company's inception in 2014. In 2022, De Wave added Tecnavi, FCR Finland, and Mobil-Line to its portfolio, which includes yacht and cruise-ship cabins, bathroom modules, and onboard catering facilities.\n\nLast year, De Wave generated revenue of around €400m and employs approximately 1,400 people. Under the proposed transaction, De Wave's management team is expected to reinvest the proceeds from the sale back into the business, according to the source.",
