Il team Distressed M&A di Livingstone ha assistito in esclusiva il management di <\/strong>Franz W\u00f6lfer Elektromaschinenfabrik Osnabr\u00fcck GmbH<\/strong><\/a> nella vendita a <\/strong>MENZEL Elektromotoren GmbH<\/strong><\/a>, Berlino, tramite un piano di insolvenza.<\/strong><\/p>

Fondata nel 1945, Franz W\u00f6lfer Elektromaschinenfabrik Osnabr\u00fcck GmbH<\/strong> \u00e8 un produttore leader di motori elettrici destinati all\u2019impiego in ambito di sollevamento, in ambito navale e nell\u2019ingegneria meccanica generale. Il core business dell\u2019azienda, che si distingue per l\u2019elevata competenza artigianale, \u00e8 la produzione di motori speciali su misura, caratterizzati da un elevato valore aggiunto. I motori elettrici, resistenti sia ad alte temperature sia al freddo estremo, sono interamente realizzati in Germania.<\/p>

Il 17 gennaio 2019, la societ\u00e0 ha presentato istanza di insolvenza presso il Tribunale di Osnabr\u00fcck. L\u2019avvocato Stefan Meyer, dello studio PLUTA Rechtsanwalts GmbH, \u00e8 stato nominato curatore provvisorio. La causa principale dell\u2019insolvenza \u00e8 da ricondurre alla situazione finanziaria dell\u2019azienda. Il modello di business basato su commesse progettuali comporta talvolta elevati anticipi finanziari su lunghi periodi. Nonostante un buon portafoglio ordini, le risorse finanziarie non erano pi\u00f9 sufficienti per la produzione.<\/p>

Con l\u2019approvazione del curatore provvisorio, il management ha incaricato Livingstone alla fine di gennaio 2019 di condurre un processo M&A strutturato.<\/p>

Silvio H\u00f6fer, avvocato dello studio anchor Rechtsanw\u00e4lte<\/strong>, che ha gestito la societ\u00e0 insieme al CEO Josef Winkels<\/strong>, ha dichiarato: “Sono molto soddisfatto che siamo riusciti a trovare una buona soluzione per questa storica azienda e i suoi dipendenti in soli cinque mesi dall\u2019avvio della procedura di auto-amministrazione. Il management ha attuato con decisione le misure di ristrutturazione necessarie \u2013 ora possiamo ripartire.”<\/em><\/p>

Durante la procedura di auto-amministrazione, l\u2019operativit\u00e0 aziendale \u00e8 stata pienamente mantenuta e stabilizzata, e le misure di ristrutturazione necessarie sono state implementate con successo. Il Gruppo Menzel<\/strong>, con sede a Berlino, ha acquisito la maggioranza delle quote. Si tratta di un investitore ideale e partner strategico per Franz W\u00f6lfer, in grado di rafforzarne la solidit\u00e0 finanziaria, ampliarne il know-how e generare importanti sinergie per entrambe le realt\u00e0.<\/p>

Mathis Menzel, CEO del Gruppo Menzel,<\/strong> ha commentato: “Sono convinto del potenziale di questa azienda familiare: vedo prodotti di alta qualit\u00e0, rapporti eccellenti con i clienti e un team altamente motivato e impegnato.”<\/em>
Il Gruppo Menzel \u00e8 stato assistito con successo dall\u2019avvocato K\u00f6hler-Ma dello studio GT Restructuring, Berlino. Tutti gli 85 dipendenti manterranno il proprio posto di lavoro.
Stefan Meyer, curatore provvisorio<\/strong>, ha aggiunto: “Sono lieto che, nel processo M&A da noi gestito in modo mirato rispetto alla situazione di mercato e aziendale, siamo riusciti a generare ampio interesse da parte degli investitori. Con il Gruppo Menzel, \u00e8 stata trovata una soluzione soddisfacente sia per i creditori sia per Franz W\u00f6lfer.”<\/em><\/p>

Dr. Andr\u00e9 Schr\u00f6er, Partner di Livingstone<\/strong>, ha concluso: “Con il Gruppo Menzel, abbiamo trovato un investitore che rappresenta al contempo un partner ideale per l\u2019azienda, offrendo non solo un\u2019eccellente complementarit\u00e0 strategica, ma anche una visione concreta per il futuro di Franz W\u00f6lfer.”<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"featured_media":3506,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"client-type":[],"region":[],"sector":[],"service":[],"transaction-type":[],"class_list":["post-12492","transaction","type-transaction","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":{"team_members":[1487],"date":"20190618","client_type":49,"type":[1118,1127],"region":[387],"services":[451],"sectors":[741,757],"related_transactions":"","related_testimonials":"","contacts":""},"yoast_head":"\nFranz
