Phinia acquires Swedish Electromagnet Invest for $47m
Premium fuel systems and aftermarket solutions firm Phinia has acquired Swedish Electromagnet Invest (SEM) for Skr452m ($47m). SEM, established in 1915, specialises in advanced natural gas, hydrogen, and other alternative fuel ignition systems, primarily for the commercial vehicle and industrial markets. In June 2025, Phinia signed a definitive agreement to acquire the SEM's issued and outstanding shares. The acquisition is set to bolster Phinia's portfolio in alternative fuel technologies and is anticipated to generate around $50m of annual revenue as well as nearly $10m of annual adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortisation (EBITDA). Phinia will integrate SEM's expertise in advanced ignition technologies for both on- and off-road commercial and industrial engines. The acquisition is expected to enhance Phinia's product portfolio and strategy, enabling the company to explore adjacent market opportunities and provide customers with a broad range of products and turnkey solutions. Phinia CEO and president Brady Ericson said: 'We're genuinely excited about what lies ahead. This acquisition opens new possibilities through the strategic expansion of our portfolio. 'By combining Phinia's expertise in engine management systems with SEM's deep knowledge of advanced ignition technologies, we expect to create a powerful platform for innovation and efficiency.' For second quarter (Q2) 2025, Phinia reported net sales of $890m, marking a 2.5% year-over-year increase, and adjusted earnings per share (EPS) of $1.27 per share. Phinia concluded the quarter with cash and cash equivalents of $347m and $499m of available capacity under its revolving credit facility. The company's total debt was reported at $990m. Adjusted free cash flow also saw a decline, coming in at $20m, which is a significant drop from the $108m reported in the Q2 2024. This decline was largely attributed to higher working capital demands, which arose as the company dealt with changing order volumes and other dynamic conditions within the industry, as well as the timing of its capital spending. Phinia updated its financial outlook for the year, now expecting net sales to be between $3.33bn and $3.43bn.

Deal 'closer than ever' as forward demands move
Liverpool's focus in the last few days appears to be on completing yet another incoming deal. It's been a record-breaking transfer window already - with sporting director Richard Hughes overseeing around £260m worth of spending. But the Reds want more. Alexander Isak is firmly in the club's sights - and could arrive for £135m in a British record deal. But simmering in the background are several mooted outgoing deals. 🔴 Shop the LFC Store 🚨2025/26 LFC x adidas range🚨 LFC x adidas Shop the away range TODAY LFC x adidas Shop the home range today! LFC x adidas Shop the goalkeeper range today LFC x adidas Shop the new adidas range today! Tyler Morton - for example - is putting pen to paper on a permanent deal which will see him join Lyon for around £15m. Others - such as Darwin Nunez and Harvey Elliott - could see their Anfield tenures cut short if bidding clubs meet the Reds' asking price. 🔴 Shop the LFC 2025/26 adidas away range . The 27-year-old arrived from Juventus in a deal that could reach £12.5m - signing a contract until 2028. Chiesa pushing for Serie A return But it's been a year to forget for the Euro 2020 winner - who has fallen out of favour in the national team set-up and barely featured for his new club. It's now being reported in Calciomercato that Chiesa has requested a return to Serie A - with Atalanta, Napoli and now AC Milan coming forward with their interest. 'Federico Chiesa is ever closer to a return to Serie A,' the report reads. 'On the fringes of Liverpool 's technical project, also in view of the next World Cup, the former Juventus player is reportedly pushing to return to Italy, convinced that only in this way can he find the consistency, confidence, and desire to play that he has in fact lost in England.' AC Milan deal unlocked A deal with Napoli has been on hold for quite some time - as it appears the Serie A title holders are unwilling to match the forward's contract demands. That leaves the door open to AC Milan. Should the Rossoneri successfully offload Samuel Chukuwueze to a Premier League suitor in the shape of Fulham then it could unlock their move for Chiesa. 'With the departure of Samuel Chukwueze, Milan could seriously insist with Liverpool for Federico Chiesa,' the report continues. 'The Cottagers could offer up to €20 million for Chukwueze, a figure that could encourage the Rossoneri to sit down at the negotiating table with Liverpool for Federico Chiesa.' © IMAGO - Federico Chiesa Liverpool

MLPS adopts ImageTrend Platform for improved patient care
Middlesex-London Paramedic Service (MLPS) in Canada has adopted the ImageTrend Platform to enhance patient care and align with Ontario's documentation standards. This strategic move aims to improve clinical documentation and provide deeper insights into operational performance. With the Ontario-compliant platform, MLPS will be able to streamline data collection, enhance reporting consistency, and access real-time analytics. These capabilities are crucial for operational decision-making and advancing system-wide quality initiatives. MLPS paramedic services director Adam Bennett said: 'After a thorough evaluation, we believe ImageTrend offers the right combination of innovation and support to meet the unique needs of MLPS. We're looking forward to building a successful partnership.' MLPS is now part of a rising number of Ontario paramedic services utilising ImageTrend's integrated solution, which complies with the Ontario Ambulance Documentation Standards (OADS v4.0). Set by the Ministry of Health this year, these standards dictate the documentation, submission, and application of ambulance call reports for quality improvement. ImageTrend president and CEO Patrick Sheahan said: 'Partnering with MLPS builds on our commitment to helping Canadian paramedic services document care efficiently and put their data to work. 'We look forward to supporting their team with a platform designed to meet today's needs and adapt to what's next.' MLPS serves as a paramedic service provider for Middlesex County and the City of London, operating from 13 stations with over 450 professionals. In May this year, ImageTrend expanded its reach in Canada through a partnership with Airmedic, enhancing aeromedical responses in Québec. In February, the St Charles County Ambulance District in Missouri began using ImageTrend's ePCR and Billing Bridge software.
