Capiton sells Schur to Lindsay Goldberg

Capiton followed a buy-and-build strategy for Schur, having acquired the first company of the group, CFS Dixie, in December 2011. The nucleus of the group was then purchased in early 2012 with the takeover of the Schur Flexibles Division, consisting of four companies, from Schur International in Denmark. Five further businesses were acquired before the end of 2014. Also in 2014, PS Polymer Sourcing was founded as an additional separate business unit.

New owner Lindsay Goldberg plans further bolt-ons for the group.
