CGS invests in Innolas Solutions

The GP said it plans to transform the company into a global player in the sector using add-on acquisitions, as well as expanding its existing plant in Krailing, Germany.

Current owner Richard Grundmüller and the management team, led by CEO Markus Nicht, will both acquire minority stakes in the new business.

CGS is approaching a final close for its fourth buyout fund after holding an interim close above its CHF 200m target in March.

Innolas will be the third platform investment from the new fund, which will make five to seven in total.
