With its products, Konrad Böhnlein is positioned as high-quality, proven by a large number of qualified specialists amongst their 160 employees.

Founded in 2021, E3 Holding is an entrepreneurially-managed industrial holding company that accompanies medium-sized companies as a long-term investor and partner. The focus is on economically sound, owner-managed companies with a turnover of €10-100m. E3 Holding has grown to over 100 employees, with headquarters in Biberach an der Riß, as well as bases in Frankfurt am Main, Renningen, Basel, and Stockholm.

Together with the management of Konrad Böhnlein, E3 Holding plans a series of actions to further develop the company. This includes boosting sales activities to increase regional market coverage. Significant investments in production and operations are also planned, which will expand capacities and further increase efficiency.

„We are very grateful to Clearwater International for their assistance in finding the most suitable buyer for our family business and for supporting us throughout the whole sales process.

In addition, the sale enables me and my family to focus even more on our social commitments, for the future benefit of the region. I am very much looking forward to this.“ – Alexandra Böhnlein-Schaudienst, Shareholder, Konrad Böhnlein
