SINGAPORE, Aug 26 (Reuters) – Southeast Asia-focused private equity firm Dymon Asia is buying German lifting equipment maker Salzgitter Maschinenbau Group' (SMAG) Singapore unit RAM SMAG Lifting Technologies Pte Ltd, the companies said on Friday.

The deal is expected to be completed by end of next month, it added.
