Rigeto Unternehmerkapital acquires Oehm & Rehbein

Former majority owners Bernd Oehm, Ragnar Rehbein and Michael Rieger will retain stakes in the company.

Negotiations for the proprietary deal began in 2019.

Following the acquisition, the company plans to continue to develop its product range, as well as build up its sales department and continue its international expansion. The growth strategy could also include add-on acquisitions.
