Deutsche Invest Capital Partners has sold Loibl Förderanlagen to Martin Group
Loibl Förderanlagen
Loibl Förderanlagen is a leading Germany-based specialist for bulk material handling solutions with more than 60 years of experience, providing mission-critical, tailor-made modular solutions with a focus on resilient “green technology” sectors such as power generation (waste-to-energy), biomass, recycling and sludge. Loibl’s solutions comprise a complex system layout of conveyors, auxiliary equipment and control systems, particularly for utilities and blue-chip engineering, procurement and construction companies.
The Deal
Martin Group, a general contractor for the supply of entire turnkey plants, has acquired Loibl. The deal represents a vertical integration for Martin and will allow the company to leverage strong synergies and further entrench its market position.
Our Perspective
Michael Drill, Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of Lincoln International Germany, commented, “We are happy to announce a transaction in which we achieved a more than satisfactory outcome for our client. We wish the team all the best and look forward to seeing Loibl prosper during the next phase of its growth journey within Martin.”
Richard Floto, Managing Director in Lincoln International’s Industrials Group, added, “Due to Loibl’s niche position in the systems engineering space, finding the right strategic buyer proved to be challenging and led us to advise to explore candidates which would qualify as adequate non-horizontal integrators. Finally, this resulted in Martin, a customer of Loibl, going for a vertical integration play.”
