Gilde acquires Elcee Group

Gilde Buy Out Partners is currently investing via its fifth buyout fund, closed on its hard-cap of €1.1bn. It typically deploys equity tickets of €30-120m in companies with enterprise values of between €100-250m.

Elcee developed from being a purely Dutch player into a pan-European industrial supplier through an active buy-and-build strategy. Recent acquisitions include Gildemeister a+f Components (Germany), Global Suppliers (Belgium) and Global Supplier Group (Nordic region and Poland).

Gilde will further support the company's acquisitive growth strategy and international expansion.
