Sale of Business - Case Study Wolfgang Freiler Group
1. Business Model
The Wolfgang Freiler Group is divided into two core areas: plastic pipes and injection moulding solutions. One focus is on the use of up to 90% recycled plastic regranulates in the manufacture of plastic pipes. In the injection moulding sector, the company offers a comprehensive range of injection moulding solutions with a machine clamping force of up to 2,300 tonnes.
2. Initial situation
The owners are seeking a long-term succession plan for the company.
3. Objective
The involvement of a strategic partner to ensure the long-term future of the group.
4. Measures taken
PALLAS CAPITAL has identified suitable successors, made a preselection and, together with the owners, selected the TeraPlast Group as the ideal strategic buyer.
5. Result
Careful coordination between all parties involved ensured a smooth transaction process, resulting in the successful acquisition of 100% of the shares in the Wolfgang Freiler Group by the listed company TeraPlast S.A. The acquisition expands the product portfolio of the Romanian TeraPlast Group and facilitates access to new markets with high potential in Central and Western Europe. At the same time, it creates synergies by complementing the Freiler Group’s portfolio and expands the geographical presence of the TeraPlast Group, which has significantly expanded its production capacities in recent years.
The transaction was successfully advised by PALLAS CAPITAL Corporate Solutions. Led by Maximilian Baar-Baarenfels and Hans Lassen, and with the support of Maximilian Wehofer, the team provided comprehensive advice to the Wolfgang Freiler Group throughout all phases of the structured sell-side process.
