The company offers the opportunity to acquire a stake in an established, medium-sized precision machining company in western Germany. In recent years, the company has successfully transitioned from a supplier to the mining industry to a sought-after manufacturing partner in the growth markets of defense, rail, and naval. Thanks to extensive investments in its machinery and the development of long-term customer relationships with well-known industrial companies, the company now enjoys a solid market position and attractive growth prospects. As part of a long-term succession plan, operational responsibility is to be gradually transferred to the two sons of the managing partner, who have been with the company for more than ten years and already hold key management positions in the commercial and technical divisions, respectively. We are seeking investors for a minority stake and/or the provision of mezzanine capital to support further growth and the sustainable continuation of the company’s development.

A broad technical setup with injection molding machines enables the company to cover a diverse range of parts and ensures high flexibility in production. Key factors contributing to its success include its specialization in complex components, its scalable production base, and its long-standing involvement in various industrial application areas.
