Munich — FSN Capi­tal V (“FSN”) acqui­res the majo­rity shares in the Rame­der Group. A corre­spon­ding purchase agree­ment was signed with the previous share­hol­ders. Rame­der has been active since 1996 and, with 200 employees, is one of the leading B2B and B2C dealers in the areas of trai­ler hitches, bicy­cle racks and roof boxes in Europe. The two mana­ging direc­tors Dirk Schö­ler and Stefan Bertels­ho­fer remain share­hol­ders in the Rame­der Group as part of a reverse shareholding.

FSN is one of the leading private equity inves­tors in Scan­di­na­via with a focus on medium-sized compa­nies. In addi­tion to offices in Oslo, Stock­holm and Copen­ha­gen, FSN has had an office in Munich since spring 2018.
