Clearwater International advises Waterland Private Equity on raising finance to support the acquisition of RUF | Betten and BRUNO

Clearwater International has advised Waterland Private Equity (Waterland) on raising finance to support the acquisition of RUF | Betten GmbH (RUF | Betten) and Bruno Interior GmbH (BRUNO).

Founded in 1926 and based in Rastatt, Germany, RUF | Betten specialises in stationary furniture and stands for high individualisation, modern design, and premium quality. The company has a wide range of box spring and upholstered beds and entered the sofa bed market in 2021, while it currently employs around 200 people and produces over 30,000 premium beds per year.

BRUNO, based in Berlin, Germany, is a direct-to-consumer (D2C) company specialising in the online, direct distribution of designer box spring beds and sofa beds. Founded in 2014, BRUNO developed from a mattress start-up to an online sleep furniture brand in just a few years and has managed to establish a leading market position in the D2C bedroom furniture segment in Germany. BRUNO joined the RUF Group of companies in 2020.
