Renzenbrink & Partner advises the svt Group on the acquisition of the British Technical Fire Safety Group (reverse investment)

Renzenbrink & Partner advised svt Group, a portfolio company of Ergon Capital, in connection with the acquisition of the British Technical Fire Safety Group (“TFSG”) on the sellers’ re-investment in svt Group.

svt, headquartered in Seevetal near Hamburg, is a leading pan-European provider of passive fire protection products, installation and refurbishment services with more than 1,100 employees worldwide. TFSG is a leading supplier of fire-resistant glass based in the UK, which further complements the svt Group’s comprehensive product portfolio in a growth segment. As a result of the acquisition, the svt Group will employ more than 1,500 people and generate annual sales of more than EUR 300 million.

The Renzenbrink & Partner team consisted of Dr. Niels Maier and Dr. Alexander Haunschild (both Corporate/M&A).

The svt Group has already relied on Renzenbrink & Partner several times in the past (most recently for the acquisition of DDL GmbH). In the transfer of the svt Group to a so-called continuation fund advised by Ergon Capital, which was completed in 2022, Ergon Capital was also advised by a team led by Dr. Ulf Renzenbrink and the lawyers involved here.
