A. Eberle was founded in 1980 and is headquartered in Nuremberg. The company is a leading provider of measurement, control and regulation technology for energy supply networks.
The product portfolio includes hardware and software solutions in the areas of voltage regulation, earth fault regulation & compensation and power quality monitoring and makes a significant contribution to the stability, efficiency and integration of renewable energies into power grids. Customers primarily include transmission and distribution system operators (TSOs/ DSOs) as well as medium-sized and large industrial companies, predominantly in Europe. A. Eberle is characterised by high technical expertise, strong engineering capabilities and customer-specific solutions and is an established partner with an international presence.
BU Bregal Unternehmerkapital („BU“) is a leading investment firm with offices in Zug, Munich, Amsterdam, Milan and London. With more than EUR 7 billion in assets under management, BU is one of the largest mid-cap investors headquartered in the DACH region. BU focuses on investments in mid-sized companies across the DACH region. With the mission to be the partner of choice for entrepreneurs and family-owned businesses, BU seeks to partner with market leaders and „hidden champions“ with strong management teams and breakout potential.
The market for grid technology benefits from structural growth drivers such as the expansion and digitalisation of power grids, the increasing integration of renewable energies as well as rising electricity demand, among others driven by electromobility and data centers. In this environment, A. Eberle is very well positioned as an innovative technology provider with long-standing customer relationships. BU will support A. Eberle as a long-term partner in accelerating international growth, further advancing product development and continuing to expand the company’s position as a technologically leading provider in the field of grid stability and power quality.
Lothar Mayer, majority owner of A. Eberle, comments: „During the process, I found BU to be a partner who shares my entrepreneurial values and brings a solid understanding of our business. The collaboration was characterised from the outset by trust and an open, constructive exchange. I am convinced that BU, together with the management team, will set the right direction to further develop A. Eberle and lead it successfully into the next growth phase.“
Felix Werdin, Partner at BU, says: „A. Eberle is an excellently positioned company in a structurally growing market. The increasing requirements for stable and efficient power grids offer significant potential. Together with the experienced management team, we want to build on the company’s successful development and support it in the next growth phase.“
Stefan Hoppert, CEO of A. Eberle, adds: „With BU, we gain a partner who supports us in advancing our technological development and further scaling our solutions. Together, we aim to strengthen our innovation capabilities and continue to offer our customers high-performance and reliable solutions for the challenges of modern power grids.“
As part of the transaction, the management team of A. Eberle will reinvest in the company and together with BU, drive the long-term growth strategy.
CASE CASSIOPEA acted as exclusive M&A adviser to the Mayer family, majority shareholders of A. Eberle, underscoring its strong expertise in the energy infrastructure sector as well as its experience in complex succession solutions.
