Munich / Wede­mark — Liberta Part­ners (“LIBERTA”) acqui­res a majo­rity stake in Amec GmbH (“AMEC”) from company foun­der Marcel Fehr­mann. AMEC is a renow­ned value-added resel­ler of elec­tro­nic compon­ents based in Wede­mark near Hano­ver. Marcel Fehr­mann remains a member of the manage­ment and conti­nues to hold a stake in the company. The manage­ment team is comple­ted by Norman Kühn and Sebas­tian Neelen, who will become share­hol­ders as part of the transaction.

The company was foun­ded in 2004 and specia­li­zes in the deve­lo­p­ment and procu­re­ment of microelec­tro­nic compon­ents for OEMs and EMS compa­nies, parti­cu­larly in the German SME sector. Through inno­va­tive “design-in” solu­ti­ons, AMEC evalua­tes custo­mer sugges­ti­ons, checks their feasi­bi­lity and makes its own sugges­ti­ons for impro­ve­ments to form and function.

Marcel Fehr­mann commen­ted on the sale: “I am deligh­ted to have found a strong part­ner for AMEC in LIBERTA. LIBERTA will support AMEC with its entre­pre­neu­rial deve­lo­p­ment approach in a sustainable and long-term manner and thus accom­pany the company’s growth path. This is a posi­tive signal for our long-stan­­ding custo­mers, employees and partners.”

Nils von Wietz­low, Part­ner at LIBERTA, empha­si­zed: “AMEC opera­tes in a promi­sing market. With a broad supplier network and the inno­va­tive “design-in” approach, the company is ideally posi­tio­ned to conti­nue its success story with the opera­tio­nal support of LIBERTA. With an increased focus on buy & build and a streng­thening of the orga­niza­tion, LIBERTA wants to set the frame­work for this.”

This is the first invest­ment by Liberta Part­ners Fund III, which closed in 2023. The fund invests in succes­sion situa­tions and group spin-offs, with a strong focus on support­ing the opera­tio­nal deve­lo­p­ment of its port­fo­lio companies.
