Hannover Finanz acquires Koller
Hannover Finanz has acquired a 75% stake in car components supplier Koller as part of a replacement capital transaction.
The GP bought a portion of the shares owned by the Koller family, who continue to hold a 25% stake in the company. The fresh capital will be used for the company's latest plant, which is already in the planning stages.
Hannover Finanz suggested the company may expand into the aviation and furnishings branches. The deal also saw additions to the management team, including former Munich-based KPMG director Karl Ostler.
Earlier this month, Hannover Finanz divested its majority stake in the Schrack Technik Group as part of a management buy-back.
