DPE acquires shares in IMAP Group from ENZIAN
Zurich/ Munich — IMPAG Group, an internationally recognized chemical distribution company, announces that it has completed a change in its investor structure as part of its strategic development and to accelerate growth in a consolidating market.
Deutsche Privat Equity (DPE) takes over the shares of Enzian AG as the new majority investor.
This step is part of the IMPAG Group’s long-term growth strategy, which aims to further consolidate its market position and create added value as a solution provider for its stakeholders, especially its customers, supply partners and employees.
The change enables the IMPAG Group to strengthen its agility and innovative power and to drive forward its corporate vision in a targeted manner by further developing its offering and expanding its services.
The new investor structure with DPE supports IMPAG Group’s ambitions to expand its presence in the European market and diversify its business areas through targeted acquisitions and partnerships.
IMPAG Group strives to further strengthen its value-added position in the life science and material science sectors and to be perceived as a preferred partner for its global stakeholders.
The Board of Directors and the Executive Board of IMPAG Group are convinced that the change of investor supports the strategic direction of the company and forms the basis for further growth and long-term success.
“A change of investor should always be driven by strength and not by necessity. IMPAG has developed across national borders, has established a strong market position in Europe and, with its ambitious plans for the future, is now ready for a new, strong investor and partner. We are convinced that in DPE we have gained a strong partner with a comparable understanding of values who will support the successful further development of the IMPAG Group in the long term,” confirms IMPAG CEO Remo Bernardi.
Andreas Schmid, Partner at DPE, emphasizes: “We are convinced that we can expand on the basis of the existing platform, the IMPAG Group, both through further organic growth initiatives and through targeted buy-and-build acquisitions to become a leading pan-European specialist distributor for chemicals.” DPE is a German capital management company headquartered in Munich that invests in medium-sized growth companies, primarily in Germany, Austria and Switzerland, with the investment funds it manages.
DPE supports its portfolio companies with a partnership approach, capital, experience and respect for entrepreneurial action in order to realize their future potential.
