NORD Holding sells Konzelmann to the Oetinger Group

31.08.2005

NORD Holding Beteiligungsgesellschaft, Hanover and the Bayerische Beteiligungsgesellschaft have sold their joint 69.4% stake in Karl Konzelmann GmbH & Co. KG, headquartered in Hanover and Neu-Ulm, to the aluminium melting company Oetinger GmbH in Weißenhorn. The management team will retain its 30.6% stake to be restructured into a new joint stock company that will consolidate the activities of both Oetinger and Konzelmann. This deal ensures the long term future of the Konzelmann locations in Hanover and Neu-Ulm with a total workforce of 300 employees.

Since being acquired by NORD Holding at the beginning of 2004 Konzelmann has been able to significantly benefit from the high market growth in secondary aluminium and boost profitability. Konzelmann's current production capacity is more than 150.000 t of secondary aluminium and with turnover of more than € 230 mil. is the third largest aluminium recycling company in Europe, behind the Oetinger Group. Together both companies boast a production capacity well above 300.000 tons.
