Renzenbrink & Partner advises the svt Group on the acquisition of Endreß Ingenieurgesellschaft

Renzenbrink & Partner advised svt Group, a portfolio company of Ergon Capital, in connection with the acquisition of Endreß Ingenieurgesellschaft mbH Brandschutzsachverständige (“Endreß”).

svt, headquartered in Seevetal near Hamburg, is a leading pan-European provider of passive fire protection products, installation and refurbishment services and generates annual sales of more than EUR 300 million with more than 1,500 employees worldwide. Endreß is a leading engineering office for the conceptual planning and organization of fire protection with almost 100 employees at several locations in Germany.

In future, Endreß will form a business unit with SIGRA Brandschutz GmbH (“SIGRA”). SIGRA has been a member of the svt group of companies for several years and is an expert in fire protection concepts and safety graphics. The merger of the two companies is intended to provide even better support for customers operating nationwide throughout Germany thanks to the expanded know-how and network.

The Renzenbrink & Partner team consisted of partners Dr. Niels Maier (Corporate/M&A) and Marc H. Kotyrba (Tax) as well as associates Dr. Alexander Haunschild (Corporate/M&A), Marie Eikmeier (Tax) and Dr. Andreas Sandberger (Corporate/M&A).

The svt Group has already relied on Renzenbrink & Partner on several occasions in the past (most recently for the acquisition of the British Technical Fire Safety Group (reverse investment)).
