Renzenbrink & Partner advises SANSIDOR on acquisition of LGBA and UHM

Renzenbrink & Partner has advised Sansidor GmbH (Sansidor) on the acquisitions of Laborgesellschaft für Bauanalytik mbH (LGBA) and Umwelthygiene Marburg GmbH & Co KG (UHM).

LGBA, based in Hockenheim, is an accredited laboratory company operating nationwide, specialising in services and analyses in the areas of drinking water supply, pipe networks and building protection. Founded by the sellers in 2012, the company currently employs around 50 people. UHM is an independent analytical laboratory for drinking water and other waters for human consumption with a regional focus on the German state of Hesse.

The Sansidor Group was founded in the Netherlands in 2018 following the acquisition of several TIC (Testing, Inspection and Certifications) companies by HC Partners. Since then, the group has grown considerably and now consists of more than 20 companies in the Netherlands and, since 2024, in Germany with a total of over 400 employees. The focus of its business activities is on testing in the areas of fire safety, electricity, water, air and occupational health and safety (TIC). In addition to HC Partners, funds advised by IK Partners have been majority invested in the Sansidor Group since 2024.

The acquisition of LGBA and UHM continues a series of several planned acquisitions by the Sansidor Group in Germany. Renzenbrink & Partner regularly supports foreign corporate groups in transactions to enter or consolidate their position in the German market and has already advised Sansidor this year on the acquisition of two TIC companies in the field of electrical occupational safety.

Renzenbrink & Partner provided comprehensive legal advice to Sansidor on the acquisition of LGBA and UHM as well as on re-investments of individual sellers with a team consisting of Dr. Niels Maier (Partner/Private Equity), Dr. Alexander Haunschild (Counsel/Private Equity); Moritz Rojek (Senior Associate/Private Equity) and Dr. Andreas Sandberger (Attorney/Private Equity).
