Waterland invests in Hanse Orga

Waterland confirmed the investment, but declined to comment further on it. A source close to the deal told unquote" that Hanse Orga's owners and founders, the Lindemann family, decided to bring Waterland on board in order to boost international expansion. They hope to develop new products and win over international customers.

It remains unclear whether Waterland has acquired a majority or minority stake in Hanse Orga. According to the deal's filing with Germany's federal cartel office, Waterland and the Lindemann family jointly secured control of the business.
