Hartenberg Holding announces the sale of its portfolio company Adria Tehnika
Hartenberg Holding has signed an agreement to sell its portfolio company Adria Tehnika, a leading aircraft maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) provider based in Slovenia to easyJet, one of Europe’s largest airlines.
Adria Tehnika operates a five-bay base maintenance facility at Ljubljana Airport and has provided heavy maintenance services for the easyJet fleet for many years. The company has established a strong track record with major European airlines and has built a reputation for quality, reliability, and technical expertise.
The acquisition of Adria Tehnika by easyJet is subject to regulatory approvals and is expected to be completed in 1Q/2026. Under the new ownership, Adria Tehnika will continue to be led by Chief Executive Officer Barbara Perko Brvar.
“We have enjoyed working with the Adria Tehnika team and supporting the company during an important phase of its development. The management and employees have built a highly respected MRO organisation with strong know-how and long-term customer relationships. We are pleased that easyJet, a trusted partner of the company for many years, will take Adria Tehnika forward. We believe this is an excellent match and the right long-term home for the business and its people. I am also pleased that such an important airline will once again have a strong presence in Slovenia.”, said Jozef Janov, managing partner of Hartenberg Holding.
Barbara Perko Brvar, CEO of Adria Tehnika, commented: “I am delighted that easyJet has recognised us as a strategic investment. Through our past work and strong references, we have proven to be a credible, reliable, and trusted partner to all our clients. With a strategic investor like easyJet, we will be able to further and more rapidly develop our activities, capacities, and the expertise of our employees.”
Brendan McConnellogue, Director of Engineering and Maintenance at easyJet, added: “We are delighted to have the Adria Tehnika team joining the easyJet group. We have worked with Adria Tehnika for almost a decade and entrusted them with over a 200 heavy maintenance inputs on our fleet of Airbus aircraft. We are really pleased to be acquiring the facility, along with its skilled workforce, which will help us further our aim of bringing more of our maintenance in house with plans to further develop and grow the facility in the coming years.”
