GÖRG Advises Ufenau on the Acquisition of a Majority Stake in Eco Kart

Pfäf­fi­kon (CH) — The fund “Ufenau VIII Asset Light, SLP,” advi­sed by Ufenau Capi­tal Part­ners, has acqui­red a majo­rity stake in Eco Kart GmbH. GÖRG Rechts­an­wälte provi­ded legal coun­sel to Ufenau Capi­tal on this transaction. 

Since its foun­ding in 2019, Eco Kart GmbH has been active in the indoor leisure and family enter­tain­ment sector. In the Rhine-Main region, the company offers private and corpo­rate custo­mers a wide range of recrea­tio­nal acti­vi­ties, inclu­ding e‑karting, bowling, billi­ards, darts, and arcade games. With estab­lished loca­ti­ons and stan­dar­di­zed opera­tio­nal struc­tures, Eco Kart is well-posi­­tio­­ned for further growth. 

Ufenau will work with Eco Kart’s exis­ting manage­ment team to support the company’s further deve­lo­p­ment and expan­sion of its market posi­tion. Plans include opening new loca­ti­ons, expan­ding the range of offe­rings, and making targe­ted acqui­si­ti­ons. In the long term, the goal is to build a Euro­pean leisure and enter­tain­ment plat­form on this foundation. 

The GÖRG team, led by Frank­furt part­ners Dr. Tobias Fenck and Markus Beyer, provi­ded multi­di­sci­pli­nary advice on all key legal issues rele­vant to the transaction.

For many years now, the Swiss invest­ment group Ufenau has regu­larly relied on the exper­tise of Dr. Tobias Fenck and his team for tran­sac­tions in the German market.
