Constellation acquires Roth Brandschutz
Constellation Capital has acquired a majority stake in Swiss fire protection services provider Roth Brandschutz in a management buyout.
The MBO solves the company's succession planning issues. Constellation plans to conduct a buy-and-build strategy in what the GP describes as a highly fragmented market. This is to improve both market share and its portfolio of services.
Constellation prefers to take majority stakes in service providers in the German-speaking region in the areas of business services, training, healthcare and financial services.
