ZETT OPTICS GmbH (Germany) - Jan 2008

Exit deal

The investment vehicle advised by ALLEGRA CAPITAL GmbH acquired ZETT OPTICS in June 2004 as a special situations case from Leica Camera AG, with no debt involved in the transaction. At that point, ZETT Optics was producing a range of products including slide frame projectors, a segment that was subsequently being replaced by newer technologies and thus made redundant. During the ALLEGRA CAPITAL investment, ZETT Optics was successfully repositioned to realise lighting solutions for medicinal and laboratory purposes, such as the development and production of LED, halogen and discharge lamps, ranging from the complete product to optical components. The company is now profitably growing with more than 20% per annum. Such strategic and operational repositioning of a company acquired in a special situation is typical for the approach of ALLEGRA CAPITAL.
