Indutrade acquires ECOROLL
Funds advised by PINOVA Capital GmbH (‘PINOVA’) have sold their majority stake in ECOROLL Holding GmbH (‘ECOROLL’) to the listed company Indutrade AB, Sweden (‘Indutrade’).
ECOROLL is a leading supplier of specialised roller burnishing and deep rolling tools for the mechanical finishing of metallic surfaces. The tools are used in highly stressed components, primarily in the aerospace, mechanical engineering, automotive and medical technology industries. By increasing component life and improving surface quality, ECOROLL's solutions play a key role in the quest for more sustainable components and allow customers to reduce the carbon footprint of machined parts by up to 25%.
Following PINOVA's investment in 2021, ECOROLL was able to further expand its technology leadership, in particular through the development of digital solutions for process control. The acquisition of well-known international customers led to continuous growth. Thanks to a renewed brand image and sales approach especially capitalizing on digital sales, ECOROLL furthermore laid the foundation for continued growth. Herbert Seggewiß, Partner at PINOVA, comments: ‘Thanks to the partnership-based cooperation with CEO and co-shareholder Dr. Karsten Röttger, we have succeeded in continuing ECOROLL's growth path and emphasising the sustainability aspect of the company.’
PINOVA was advised on the transaction by Livingstone Partners (Sell-Side M&A advisor), Crowe (Financial & Tax) and CMS (Legal).
