Livingstone Partners hat die Inspecs Group plc (“Inspecs”) bei der \u00dcbernahme von BoDe Design Vertriebs GmbH & Co KG (“BoDe”) vom Eigent\u00fcmer\/Gr\u00fcnder exklusiv beraten.<\/p>\n

BoDe vertreibt Korrektur- und Sonnenbrillenfassungen vor allem auf dem deutschen Markt. Das Unternehmen ist hoch komplement\u00e4r zu Inspecs\u2018 bestehender deutscher Tochtergesellschaft Eschenbach, welche in 2020 ebenfalls mit Unterst\u00fctzung durch Livingstone als Corporate-Finance-Berater von Inspecs erworben wurde. Durch BoDe kann Inspecs seine Vertriebsreichweite in Deutschland sowohl bei f\u00fchrenden Optikerketten als auch bei unabh\u00e4ngigen Optikern weiter auszubauen.<\/p>\n

Inspecs wurde 1988 von Robin Totterman in Gro\u00dfbritannien gegr\u00fcndet und ist ein multinationaler Designer, Hersteller und Distributor von Brillenfassungen und -gl\u00e4sern. Die Gruppe produziert eine breite Palette an Brillenfassungen in den Bereichen Optik, Sonnenbrillen und Sicherheitsgl\u00e4sern auf Branded- und OEM-Basis. Inspecs ist somit einer der wenigen Anbieter, der seinen Kunden (zu denen sowohl internationale Optiker- und Handelsketten als auch Distributoren und unabh\u00e4ngige Optiker geh\u00f6ren) eine derartige One-Stop-L\u00f6sung anbieten kann. Das Vertriebsnetz des Unternehmens erstreckt sich \u00fcber 80 L\u00e4nder und umfasst rund 30.000 Verkaufsstellen und es unterh\u00e4lt Niederlassungen in Gro\u00dfbritannien, Portugal, Skandinavien, den USA und China sowie Produktionsst\u00e4tten in Vietnam, China, Gro\u00dfbritannien und Italien.<\/p>\n

“Wir sind mit der fortlaufenden Unterst\u00fctzung durch Livingstone im Rahmen der Umsetzung unserer M&A-Strategie sehr zufrieden”, <\/strong>sagt Chris Kay, CFO von Inspecs Plc. “Dank der umfassenden Buyside-Beratung und Unterst\u00fctzung sowie der Branchenexpertise von Livingstone k\u00f6nnen wir unser M&A-Tempo hoch halten und so in k\u00fcrzester Zeit zwei weitere Transaktionen in zwei verschiedenen Jurisdiktionen parallel realisieren.<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

Michael Westhoven, Partner bei Livingstone D\u00fcsseldorf, kommentiert: “Wir freuen uns sehr, Inspecs bei seinem weiteren Wachstum durch M&A unterst\u00fctzen zu k\u00f6nnen und Teil der Inspecs-Erfolgsgeschichte zu sein.<\/strong>“<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"featured_media":3771,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"client-type":[],"region":[],"sector":[],"service":[],"transaction-type":[],"class_list":["post-10999","transaction","type-transaction","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":{"team_members":[1350],"date":"20220103","client_type":43,"type":[1038],"region":[379,1185],"services":[442],"sectors":[692,696],"related_transactions":"","related_testimonials":[51494],"contacts":""},"yoast_head":"\nLivingstone
