Clearwater advises DVS TECHNOLOGY GROUP on the sale of DVS Production and DVS Production South to Accursia Capital
We have advised DVS TECHNOLOGY GROUP (DVS TECHNOLOGY), a leading international manufacturer specialised in industrial equipment for the machining of metal components, on the sale of its production businesses, DVS Production GmbH (DVSP) and DVS Production South GmbH (DVSPS), to private equity investor Accursia Capital GmbH (Accursia Capital).
Headquartered in Dietzenbach, Germany, DVS TECHNOLOGY is one of the leading system providers in the mechanical engineering industry. The group specialises in industrial equipment for the machining of metal components, including turning, gear cutting, grinding, and gear honing for automotive and industrial applications. DVS TECHNOLOGY has over 1,400 employees worldwide and is also present in China and the US with local sales and service specialists.
With more than 150 years of experience, DVSP is a manufacturer of high-precision, drivetrain agnostic gear components for passenger cars, e-mobility, agricultural, and industrial as well as commercial vehicle applications located in Thuringia.

Founded in 2017, Accursia Capital is a Munich-based private equity company that focuses on complex carve-outs, restructuring, and succession planning for medium-sized companies.
The sale of both companies allows DVS TECHNOLOGY to concentrate on its core competencies in mechanical engineering, tools and services, providing potential resources for future growth and investments. Accursia Capital will ensure the continuous operation of both production units, driving sustainable development and preserving all jobs.
Clearwater has been an invaluable partner to DVS TECHNOLOGY throughout the sale of our two non-core business units. Their deep expertise, combined with their strategic guidance, has been instrumental in navigating the complexities of this transaction. We are extremely satisfied with Clearwater’s performance and would not hesitate to recommend their services to other companies seeking a trusted M&A adviser.
It was an honour and a pleasure for us to support DVS TECHNOLOGY as M&A advisers, assisting the group to focus on its core business. After a competitive international M&A process with strategic and financial investors, we are convinced that with Accursia Capital, based on its experience with complex carve-outs and in the automotive sector, we have found the right partner for the successful development of the production companies, DVSP and DVSPS.
