EMZ acquires HRWorks

The firm will take a stake of up to the entire share capital of the company.

EMZ is currently investing from its ninth vehicle, EMZ 9 (Euromezzanine 9). The fund had a target size of €900m and a hard-cap of €1bn, and ultimately exceeded its target, by closing the fund on €1.04bn in July 2020. The fund typically writes equity cheques of €50m per investment; however, it can write cheques as low as €10m and up to around €100m.

The firm recently opened its first international office in Munich, headed by partner Klaus Maurer – formerly of Silverfleet Capital and ICG – and it most recently acquired Ankerkraut, a Germany-based speciality retailer in August 2020.
