Investor consortium acquires System GmbH & Co. KG

An experienced investor consortium will take over System GmbH & Co. KG on October 1 as part of a distressed M&A deal. The appointed insolvency administrator, attorney Dr. Markus Kier, and his team led by Christian Tschiersch, took over the management of the restructuring, while Starkpartners, under the leadership of Mario Zurera Sanchez, was commissioned to carry out a structured investor process.

System GmbH & Co. KG is an owner-managed mechanical and plant engineering company specializing in factory and production automation. With 40 years of experience in mechanical engineering and 25 years of expertise in industrial robotics, the company develops integrated, customized automation solutions – from planning and commissioning to after-sales service.

The company specializes in post-press solutions, particularly in further processing following rotary printing presses, with the established brand Rima System, thus complementing the range of systems for the printing industry. In addition, it develops and manufactures automated systems for the filling industry with a focus on packaging made of form-bound plastics, such as buckets.

The new investors bring many years of expertise in managing a renowned international investment bank and complement their know-how with acquired competence in the successful management of companies in the manufacturing industry.

The current workforce of System GmbH & Co. KG will be retained as part of the M&A transaction. Through the transferred restructuring, the new owners are pursuing the goal of stabilizing the company, leading it on a sustainable growth path, and building on previous successes.

The contract was signed on September 30 in the presence of all parties involved.

The takeover marks the beginning of a new chapter in which the company is to be strengthened, made more future-oriented, and further developed together with its employees.

We at Starkpartners would like to thank everyone involved for their trust and cooperative collaboration over the past months, and we wish the new owners and the workforce all the best for the future.
