HEUKING advises FairCap on its acquisition of another manufacturer of industrial springs

A HEUKING team led by Benedikt Raisch, Salaried Partner, legally advised FairCap GmbH on its acquisition of Stumpp & Schüle GmbH from Lesjöfors AB.

Sweden-based Lesjöfors AB, a subsidiary of Beijer Alma AB, specializes in the manufacture of technical springs as well as stamped and bending components. The group comprises some 40 manufacturing and sales companies worldwide.

Stumpp + Schüle GmbH is a German manufacturer of wire springs, punched components, and bending components, which are used not only in the automotive industry, but also in the electronics, glass, and ceramics sectors. The company is headquartered in Beuren (Baden-Württemberg).

FairCap GmbH is an entrepreneurial investment firm, which acquires medium-sized companies in special situations (such as carve-out or succession) and develops them holistically into sustainable, healthy organizations. In contrast to typical PE funds, FairCap is a long-term investment holding firm, which is therefore not subject to any fund terms and is able to hold investments for the long term. Sustainability is a core element of FairCap’s investment philosophy.

Following the acquisition of S & P Federnwerk GmbH & Co. KG in 2021, the acquisition of Stumpp & Schüle GmbH represents FairCap’s second takeover of a company in the spring and stamping and bending technology sectors.

FairCap works with HEUKING and Benedikt Raisch on a regular basis.
