Hübner Schlösser & Cie Advised the Sellers
Hübner Schlösser & Cie (HSCie) exclusively advised the shareholders of SchahlLED Lighting GmbH on the sale of a majority stake to the private equity fund Active Capital Company (ACC). The managing shareholders will remain minority shareholders and, together with the new investor, will continue to actively drive SchahlLED’s growth strategy in the future.
One of the key objectives is now to bring the advantages of leading intelligent LED solutions to a broader European industrial customer base.
“Environmentally friendly green technologies and smart solutions are playing an increasingly important role in today’s economy. With its portfolio of intelligent functional LED solutions, SchahlLED efficiently combines both areas and is ideally positioned to benefit from the emerging trend toward an industrial Internet of Things. In Active Capital Company, SchahlLED has found the ideal partner to take the company to the next level and expand its successful business model across Europe,” explained Sabine Moeller, Partner at HSCie and project lead for this transaction.
HSCie advised the sellers throughout all stages of the sales process. The two managing shareholders commented: “We are pleased to have selected HSCie as our advisor. During this crucial phase for our company, HSCie proved to be a highly professional and exceptionally competent partner. In addition to providing decisive investor access and excellent process management and negotiation support, HSCie also distinguished itself through its personal commitment and dedication.”
