VREP's GHM Messtechnik bolts on Delta OHM

GHM stated that Delta was acquired because its product portfolio complements that of GHM and its client network offers a gateway to the southern European and Asian markets.

Previous funding
VREP and Bayern LB Capital Partners acquired GHM in January 2013 from BPE Unternehmensbeteiligung for an estimated deal value of €50-100m, with the management investing alongside the GPs. Debt for the transaction was provided by a consortium of banks.

BPE had acquired the company in 2007. During the GP's ownership, GHM bolted on two German companies in 2008: Honsberg, a producer of components for the industrial measurement and control technology sector; and Martens Elektronik, a producer of devices for the same field.

In 2010, GHM also bought Imtron Industrielle Mess- und Steuertechnik, a German producer of high-precision measurement components.

Company
Headquartered in Padua and founded in 1978, Delta OHM develops and produces mobile and stationary measurement devices for industrial use and environmental and meteorological analysis. The company exports its products to 60 countries. 

People
Günther Oehler is managing partner at GHM. Carlo Mei is CEO of Delta OHM.
