VR Equitypartner acquires minority stake in Votronic

Co-founders Richard Schmelz and Heiner Spiekermann have sold to successors Dieter Sojak and Jörg Borneis-Eifert, who will jointly hold the majority of shares in the company. The founders will remain involved in an advisory capacity throughout the transition period.

Following the transaction, the company plans to expand its market internationally as currently sales are mainly generated in Germany.
