Bus/Financial - Business/Commerce (general)
English term or phrase: "bolt-on"
Investment will be concentrated on..........of......existing operations........., through.........development and bolt-on acquisitions.

They mean, with "bolt-on acquisitions" that they buy, for instance, a technology instead of a whole company. But how can I translate the term "bolt-on" into Swedish? If there is no Swedish equivalent, should I write the translation like "bolt-on"-förvärv and then add a parenthesis? (bolt-on: att köpa exempelvis teknologier istället för att köpa hela företag)
