This creates a new basis for Allgeier Group’s long-term financing over the coming years, providing new scope for future acquisitions and investments. The financing partners are Commerzbank, ING Bank, Landesbank Baden-Württemberg, Landesbank Hessen-Thüringen and Norddeutsche Landesbank.

The flexibly usable revolving credit line amounts to EUR 228 million. The initial term is five years and can be extended twice by one year. The conditions were adjusted for tailor-made use to finance acquisition projects and also to comply with the IFRS 16 standard. The credit line is expected to be closed by the end of December 2019.
