Wetzlar / Troisdorf / Greifenstein — Nachfolgekontor, together with sonntag corporate finance a leading German M&A advisory boutique for medium-sized companies, has successfully advised Elomatrix Eloxal + Oberflächentechnik GmbH (“Elomatrix”) on its sale to HERNEE HARTANODIC GmbH (“HERNEE”). The two specialists for metal processing and surface finishing are thus pooling their expertise and aiming to achieve further growth and strengthen their market position.
Founded in Cologne in 1964, Elomatrix Eloxal + Oberflächentechnik GmbH has established itself as an experienced anodizing plant throughout Germany. The North Rhine-Westphalian company offers specialized services to its customers, who come from the aerospace, renewable energy, automotive and mechanical engineering industries, among others. These range from the anodizing of aluminium profiles and sheet metal to the finishing of prototypes and series parts in standard and special colors. The surface specialist combines the highest quality standards and customer focus with short delivery times.
New owner for Elomatrix
The previous shareholder Klaus Schlotz, who took over the traditional company from company founder Heinz Erdmann in 1999 and has continuously developed it ever since, is now handing over Elomatrix to the new owner: HERNEE HARTANODIC GmbH, based in Hesse, is also a proven specialist in metal processing and surface finishing, with a focus on aluminum surface technology. With its specialized service portfolio such as individual color/gloss anodizing and wear-resistant surfaces (hard coating process), HERNEE has been serving a broad customer base for over 30 years. These include groups and companies from the automotive and aerospace industries, as well as from the electrical engineering, semiconductor and medical technology sectors.
Increase in growth potential through multiple synergy effects
By merging with Elomatrix, HERNEE is strengthening its service portfolio and further expanding its existing customer base. At the same time, the targeted use of synergy effects should enable the company to achieve its strategic growth targets. Klaus Schlotz, partner at Elomatrix, will provide advice during the transition phase. He comments: “For over 60 years, Elomatrix has stood for in-depth experience in aluminum surface finishing. With HERNEE and Jens Neeb in particular, we have now found a partner who fits perfectly with the core competencies and values of Elomatrix and will lead the company into a successful future thanks to his many years of experience in the industry”.
Sebastian Wissig, the responsible project manager at Nachfolgekontor, adds: “With their combined resources, both companies are an excellent addition to each other and to the market — both operationally and strategically.
