INDUS continues to invest in its portfolio
- Full takeover of housing specialist HAKAMA
- Next addition likely in first half of 2013
Bergisch Gladbach, 7 May 2013 - With effect from the end of April 2013,
INDUS Holding AG has acquired the remaining 40% of the shares in HAKAMA AG,
Bättwil, Switzerland, making INDUS the sole shareholder of the company.
The two previous co-shareholders, Marius Haberthür and Fritz Kasper, who
had worked in the company for over forty years, resigned from the
management as planned with effect from 1 April; their successor is Kristin
Lindauer. The 52-year-old biologist started its professional career in the
pharmaceutical industry and held leading positions at small and
medium-sized companies from the printing and chemicals sectors. Most
recently, she served as Managing Director of Georg Haag AG,
Beromünster/Switzerland, a medium-sized company focusing on sheet metal
processing, for more than four years.
HAKAMA AG has been a member of the INDUS Group since January 2010, when the
two successors of the founding families, Haberthür and Kasper, sold 60% of
their shareholdings to INDUS and retained their positions as Managing
Director to pave the way for an orderly succession. Established in 1956,
HAKAMA specialises in the production of premium casings and components made
from aluminum, steel, and stainless steel, primarily for medical
engineering systems, analytical and diagnostic equipment as well as coffee
machines for professional use. The European Union and the USA are the main
output markets besides Switzerland. In 2012, the company employed roughly
160 people and generated sales revenues of approx. EUR 23 million.
'As part of the previous owners' succession plan, we acquired the remaining
shares in HAKAMA and increased our investment. After the late January
acquisition of the BUDDE Group, this is another step towards an accelerated
development of our portfolio. We are currently working on another strategic
acquisition, which we want to complete before the end of the first half of
2013,' said Jürgen Abromeit, CEO of INDUS Holding AG.
The investment portfolio currently comprises 39 companies.
