MCF supports Heylo on the sale to Dantherm Group
Heylo GmbH (“Heylo”), a renowned German specialty mobile air handling systems supplier, has been acquired by Denmark-based Dantherm Group A/S (“Dantherm Group”), a portfolio company of the Swedish private equity investor Procuritas Capital. MCF acted as adviser to Heylo and facilitated the transaction through its proven ability to successfully originate and execute transactions involving family-owned companies.
The Deal
Heylo enjoys an excellent reputation in the mobile air handling systems industry and has a leading position in the upper end of the market. As part of Heylo’s ongoing succession planning, MCF identified suitable partners to foster further growth while also ensuring to find a new “good home” for the company and its employees. With Dantherm Group, Heylo will gain a strong partner with technologic expertise and a global footprint to further drive growth and internationalisation. Through this transaction, Dantherm Group will add a strong quality brand to its current portfolio and further strengthen its international presence.
The Target
Heylo is a well-known specialty mobile air handling systems supplier and established quality German brand. Headquartered in Achim, the company has approx. 40 employees, and has strategically positioned its product portfolio to serve attractive niche markets, such as renovation and restoration. Sales are predominantly generated in the DACH-Region, where Heylo has excellent client relationships and access to key decision makers facilitated by an experienced and efficient sales force.
Client Statement
Thomas Wittleder, CEO at Heylo, said: “I am happy that Dantherm is the new owner of Heylo, giving the company I joined close to 30 years ago, further opportunities to grow in and outside of Germany.
