NORD Holding invests in Lenzing Plastics in Austria
22.09.2015
In 2013 Lenzing Plastics left Lenzing AG as part of a spin-off and was acquired by an Austrian investor consortium consisting of INVEST AG, Oberösterreichische Beteiligungsgesellschaft and Tyrol Equity with the participation of the management. NORD Holding took over the 30 % stake of Tyrol Equity following the latter's planned exit in summer 2015. The parties have agreed not to disclose financial details of the transaction, which was supported by NORD Holding's partner INVEST EQUITY, Vienna. Closing is subject to antitrust approval.
Lenzing Plastics continues to grow. Last autumn the technology and product portfolio was expanded with the introduction of a new hot melt line. Moreover, the company has recently established a new company (TEPSO GmbH) that is offering medical special wear for patients suffering from psoriasis. The blended fabrics are produced by Lenzing Plastics.
"Lenzing Plastics has grown continuously since 1988. The combination of high process and production expertise and modern technology forms the basis for further growth in the various customer industries," explained Thomas Bagusch, managing director of NORD Holding. "We became firstly interested in Lenzing Plastics in 2013 and are glad that it has finally resulted in a partnership."
NORD Holding is one of the leading and oldest investment companies in Germany with extensive industry experience and an impressive and diverse portfolio. Based on this experience, NORD Holding can support and accompany us on our long-term growth path.
