MCF advises Peter Oppermann on the sale of a majority stake in Oppermann & Fuss GmbH and OF Mietpark GmbH & Co. KG (together “O&F”) to Bencis Capital
Bencis Capital, an independent private equity investment firm, has purchased a majority stake in the specialised retailer and provider of rental equipment, O&F.
Founded in 1977, O&F is a leading specialised retailer and provider of rental equipment and aftermarket services for crushing and screening machines in Germany. The machines sold, rented out and serviced by O&F are mainly used in the recycling process of construction material and thus, have an impact on fulfilling recycling quotas and reducing overall landfill.

This transaction highlights the success of MCF’s Business Services team and demonstrates their ability to resolve the succession of family-owned companies and enable a seamless transition towards Private Equity ownership.
