AURELIUS reinforces education business
- AURELIUS subsidiary LD Didactic acquires ELWE(R) Technik product
portfolio
- ELWE(R) Technik is a long-standing premium vendor of educational
systems and equipment
- High synergy effects thanks to common technology base and distribution
Munich, June 12, 2013 - The Munich-based AURELIUS Group (ISIN:
DE000A0JK2A8) is systematically expanding its presence in the education
segment. LD Didactic GmbH, an AURELIUS subsidiary, has acquired the product
portfolio of ELWE(R) Technik together with the rights to the 'ELWE(R)
Technik' brand in the field of electronic education and training. Starting
in September 2013, the ELWE(R) Technik offerings will be marketed by LD
Didactic GmbH and the local distributors in each country. The production
and further development of the educational systems will be based at LD
Didactic GmbH's facility in Hürth going forward.
This move helps AURELIUS's LD Didactic subsidiary to reinforce its
international market position as a premium vendor of educational systems
and equipment in the field of automotive and electrical engineering as well
as renewable energy. 'Education is one of the big issues for the future.
Following the acquisition of the UK-based Feedback Group last year, ELWE(R)
Technik is already the second add-on acquisition for LD Didactic,' says
Donatus Albrecht, the member of the AURELIUS Executive Board responsible
for M&A activities. 'The topic of add-on acquisitions is taking on every
greater significance for the active development of our Group companies.'
The company enjoys a very good market position and has an established
customer base. The internationally successful, technical educational
systems from ELWE(R) Technik will continue to be distributed under the
ELWE(R) Technik brand in the future. They complement the LEYBOLD and
Feedback solutions for technical education and training at vocational
colleges and universities. The ELWE(R) Technik product range represents an
excellent fit with the LD Didactic solutions. A similar technology base
promises to yield significant synergies.
