ARQUES Industries AG: ARQUES sells Anvis subsidiary to management
03.12.2010 / 16:57
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Munich, December 3, 2010 - With today's notarial contract ARQUES Industries
AG sold their share in the Anvis Group to Hahn GmbH, a company owned by the
former managing director, Olaf Hahn. The transaction was financed by H.I.G.
Europe, the European arm of the investment company, H.I.G. Capital, which
focuses on medium-size enterprises. The parties agreed not to disclose the
purchase price which was already paid today.
The Anvis Group is a primary developer and manufacturer of innovative
functional solutions for driving dynamics, comfort and road safety and is
represented in Europe, America, Asia and South Africa with 13 branches
supporting the local automobile industry. After EUR 210 million turnover
last year with losses, the company expects turnover of EUR 250 million in
the current year with positive earnings.
ARQUES acquired the subsidiary in September 2007. The implemented
restructuring measures have, however, not been concluded to date.
In the course of the sale, ARQUES accrued liquid resources in the low
double-digit million Euro range. At the same time the financial liabilities
within the group decrease by approx. EUR 30 million.
After the sales of the subsidiaries, 'Fritz Berger' and 'Golf House', the
sale of the Anvis Group is the third exit this year. ARQUES anticipates
further exits within this year. In some cases negotiations with potential
investors have progressed substantially. ARQUES expects that after
conclusion of the current transaction processes, the company will be free
from financial liabilities to a large extent and have substantial cash
reserves.
