Gilde buys Losberger from HIG

The Dutch GP tapped its Gilde Buy Out Fund V to back Losberger's management and acquire a majority stake in the group, while management will invest alongside for a significant minority.

The secondary buyout provides an exit for HIG Capital's HIG European Partners fund, a €600m, 2007-vintage buyout vehicle.

Losberger's management plans to grow the group's product offering, increase sales globally and consolidate within the sector in its core markets.

Previous funding
HIG Capital used its HIG European Partners fund for an all-equity MBO of Losberger in September 2011.

Company
Based in Bad Rappenau, Losberger is a provider of temporary and semi-permanent spaces such as aluminium and steel halls, warehouses, housing units, tents, field hospitals and more.

The company was founded in 1919, has five production facilities across the world and 14 sales offices.
