Concentro accompanies sale of Hein Verpackungen to Antalis

Lauterhofen/Nuremberg — Concen­tro Manage­ment AG has successfully advi­sed the share­hol­ders of Hein Verpa­ckun­gen GmbH on the sale of their company as M&A advi­sor. The buyer is Anta­lis S.A., a leading Euro­pean whole­sa­ler for paper, pack­a­ging and visual commu­ni­ca­tion solu­ti­ons. With the acqui­si­tion, Anta­lis S.A. is streng­thening its posi­tion in the fast-growing corru­ga­ted pack­a­ging segment and in the area of point-of-sale solu­ti­ons and is further expan­ding its value crea­tion in Europe. 

Since 2020, Anta­lis S.A. has been part of the Japa­nese Koku­sai Pulp & Paper Group, one of the worl­d’s leading paper and pack­a­ging groups. The stra­te­gic owner­ship struc­ture enables Anta­lis S.A. to have a very long-term invest­ment hori­zon, realize opera­tio­nal syner­gies across conti­nents and syste­ma­ti­cally expand its Euro­pean busi­ness — a decisive factor for the acqui­si­tion of Hein Verpackungen. 

Hein Verpa­ckun­gen GmbH, based in Lauter­ho­fen, is an estab­lished manu­fac­tu­rer of pack­a­ging and display solu­ti­ons. Foun­ded in 1928, the company is an estab­lished medium-sized company in the Nurem­berg metro­po­li­tan region. Its custo­mers include well-known compa­nies from the retail, elec­tro­nics and auto­mo­tive sectors. 

Concen­tro supported the sellers in the M&A process, from the prepa­ra­tion and struc­tu­ring of the tran­sac­tion to the acqui­si­tion of pros­pec­tive buyers and the successful closing with Anta­lis. “We are deligh­ted that we were able to support the share­hol­ders of Hein Verpa­ckun­gen with their company succes­sion. In Anta­lis, we have found a capa­ble part­ner who will ensure the stra­te­gic further deve­lo­p­ment of the company,” says Michael Raab, foun­der and respon­si­ble part­ner at Concen­tro. “We are parti­cu­larly plea­sed that we were able to realize a tailor-made solu­tion for the Hein family of entre­pre­neurs with an inter­na­tio­nally posi­tio­ned group of compa­nies,” adds project mana­ger Barbara Hamela. 

The tran­sac­tion under­lines the ongo­ing trend towards verti­cal inte­gra­tion in the Euro­pean pack­a­ging market, parti­cu­larly in the area of sustainable and custo­mi­zed pack­a­ging solutions.
