Danube and Fidura sell Mechatronic to Accuron
Danube Equity and Fidura Private Equity Funds have sold portfolio company Mechatronic Systemtechnik to Temasek-backed Accuron Technologies for an undisclosed sum.
The sale ends a nine-year holding period for the GPs, which first backed the company in October 2008.
Accuron said that Mechatronic would complement the technological capabilities of its Rosenheim-based subsidiary Esmo in the semiconductor space.
The management team, led by Walter Schober and Christoph Rauch, will continue in their roles at the helm of the company.
Previous funding
In October 2008, Danube and Fidura led a €2.6m funding round for Mechatronic.
Fidura originally drew capital from both its Fidura education and protection fund and Fidura ethical funds.

Founded in 1998, Villach-based Mechatronic Systemtechnik develops, manufactures and markets systems for the semiconductor industry and semiconductor suppliers. It also offers products for handling thin silicon wafers. The company employs 83 people in Villach, Dresden and Penang (Malaysia).
