Hübner Schlösser & Cie advised the Sellers
Hübner Schlösser & Cie (HSCie) exclusively advised the shareholders of SchahlLED Lighting GmbH in their sale of a majority stake in the company to private equity fund Active Capital Company (ACC). The managing shareholders keep a minority interest and, together with the new investor, will continue to drive SchahlLED’s growth strategy forward in the future. One of the set goals is to bring the benefits of the company’s leading intelligent LED solutions to a wider European industrial base. “Environmentally friendly green technologies and smart solutions are playing an increasingly important role in today’s economy. With its range of intelligent functional LED solutions, SchahlLED efficiently combines both fields and is well positioned to benefit from the emerging trend towards an industrial Internet of Things. In Active Capital Company, SchahlLED has found the ideal partner to take the company to the next level and implement its successful business model throughout Europe”, explains Sabine Moeller, partner at HSCie and project leader on this transaction.

With HSCie, we had a highly professional and technically competent partner at our side in this decisive phase. In addition to its important investor access and excellent process control and negotiation management, HSCie is also characterized by its human element and unrestricted commitment”.
