Investment thesis
Our investment thesis is based on the following investment attractions:
- Leading thermal management specialist for technologically demanding applications with strong market positions in focus markets
- Positioned in attractive end markets with long-term structural growth prospects, especially in new markets like energy management/storage and healthcare, complemented by very resilient historic markets (printing industry)
- Well-balanced value creation potential between continuous growth and margin improvement
- Asset-light business model with a high service share (~25% of sales) and a strong cash generation potential
- Significant M&A potential after Technotrans established a scalable organization in a highly fragmented market
Achievements
- Integration of previously independent entities contributed to attractive synergy realizations (e.g. harmonisation of go-to-market approach under a single brand, centralized procurement, consolidation to a common ERP system, etc.)
- Implementation of group-wide efficiency programs (e.g. lean production, establishment of flexible production sites, etc.)
- Strengthening of the Management Board with new CEO and CFO appointed in 2020 and 2022, respectively
- Supervisory Board reshuffled since 2020, with Luxempart representative Florian Herger in the Board
