GOF Advises Maxburg on the Sale of the autmatec Group to HOCHTIEF AG

Munich – The commer­cial law firm Gütt Olk Feld­haus advi­sed Maxburg Capi­tal Part­ners on the sale of the autma­tec Group to HOCHTIEF Aktiengesellschaft.

Since Maxburg’s acqui­si­tion in 2023, autma­tec has expe­ri­en­ced dyna­mic growth and signi­fi­cantly increased its reve­nue and earnings. At the same time, the company has syste­ma­ti­cally expan­ded its tech­ni­cal capa­bi­li­ties, regio­nal presence, and opera­tio­nal struc­tures. With its acqui­si­tion by HOCHTIEF, autma­tec is stra­te­gi­cally well-posi­­tio­­ned for the next phase of growth and can further streng­then its role in the expan­sion of Germany’s energy infra­struc­ture. autma­tec is a leading German gene­ral contrac­tor for the cons­truc­tion, reha­bi­li­ta­tion, and main­ten­ance of 110-kV and 380-kV over­head power lines. The company offers trans­mis­sion and distri­bu­tion system opera­tors throug­hout Germany a compre­hen­sive range of services, from site prepa­ra­tion and foun­da­tion work to tower cons­truc­tion and line instal­la­tion, as well as project management. 

Maxburg Capi­tal Part­ners is an invest­ment firm focu­sed on the German-spea­king region, with multi­ple funds and total assets under manage­ment of appro­xi­m­ately 1 billion euros. Foun­ded by expe­ri­en­ced entre­pre­neurs and inves­tors, the firm makes long-term invest­ments in medium-sized compa­nies, taking a flexi­ble approach across the entire capi­tal struc­ture. Maxburg provi­des between 10 and 100 million euros per transaction. 

The tran­sac­tion is subject to appr­oval by the Fede­ral Cartel Office.
