Avedon Capital Partners, together with management and its co-investors has sold Seebach, a Germany based provider of metallic filtration solutions, to John crane, a division of UK-based Smiths Group plc.
Seebach is a leading supplier of bespoke, highly engineered, premium quality filtration solutions, including both full systems and replacement filter elements, for critical applications particularly in the polymer and oil & gas markets. The Company’s headquarters and main production facility are located in Vellmar, Germany. Seebach operates an additional production plant in Pune, India. The company employs circa 110 staff.
Avedon and its co-investors acquired Seebach in 2012. Together with management, Avedon supported the company in its successful transition from a small family-owned business into a professional organisation with global reach, while further strengthening its reputation as innovation leader in its segment. Particularly in the Polymer segment Seebach has brought innovative solutions to market and shown substantial growth in recent years.
Avedon Capital Partners’ Hannes Hinteregger says: “The management team has done a great job of building on Seebach’s attractive business model in executing our mutual strategy, which has put the company on a tremendous growth track in recent years. We are positive that with access to Smiths Group’s distribution network, Seebach is bound to realise its untapped potential.”
