Frank\u00adfurt am Main \/ Bayreuth \u2014 With the support of its share\u00adhol\u00adders VR Equi\u00adtyp\u00adart\u00adner and INDUC, Grun\u00addig Busi\u00adness Systems GmbH (GBS) acqui\u00adres 100 percent of the shares in Elek\u00adtron Systeme from Wei\u00dfen\u00adohe. With this acqui\u00adsi\u00adtion, GBS streng\u00adthens its posi\u00adtio\u00adning in the field of elec\u00adtro\u00adnic assem\u00adbly and systems (EMS) manufacturing.<\/p>\n
Foun\u00added in 2009, Elek\u00adtron Systeme is a certi\u00adfied EMS service provi\u00adder based in Wei\u00dfen\u00adohe, Germany. The group consists of Elek\u00adtron Systeme und Kompo\u00adnen\u00adten GmbH & Co KG and its sister company ib Prozess\u00adleit\u00adtech\u00adnik GmbH & Co KG. As a one-stop store rooted in the region and a full-service part\u00adner for leading OEMs in medi\u00adcal tech\u00adno\u00adlogy and indus\u00adtry, Elek\u00adtron Systeme manu\u00adfac\u00adtures complete elec\u00adtro\u00adnic assem\u00adblies and device units. The company covers the entire elec\u00adtro\u00adnics value chain and accom\u00adpa\u00adnies its custo\u00admers from feasi\u00adbi\u00adlity studies to device cons\u00adtruc\u00adtion, from new deve\u00adlo\u00adp\u00adments to logi\u00adstics services. Recent invest\u00adments in new SMD produc\u00adtion capa\u00adcity and a fully auto\u00adma\u00adted warehouse provide modern produc\u00adtion conditions.<\/p>\n
Grun\u00addig Busi\u00adness Systems GmbH (GBS) is a medium-sized produc\u00adtion and service company based in Bayreuth. VR Equi\u00adtyp\u00adart\u00adner, toge\u00adther with its subsi\u00addiary VR Equity Gesell\u00adschaft f\u00fcr regio\u00adnale Entwick\u00adlung in Bayern mbH, had acqui\u00adred a mino\u00adrity stake in GBS from INDUC in 2016. As both GBS and Elek\u00adtron Systeme are active in the produc\u00adtion of elec\u00adtro\u00adnic assem\u00adblies and systems, the acqui\u00adsi\u00adtion is inten\u00added to streng\u00adthen the GBS EMS busi\u00adness unit \u2014 among other things through the mutual trans\u00adfer of expe\u00adri\u00adence and exper\u00adtise and the expan\u00adsion of the produc\u00adtion spectrum.<\/p>\n
The seller is the foun\u00adder and previous sole share\u00adhol\u00adder Frank Streit, who will act in an advi\u00adsory capa\u00adcity after the tran\u00adsac\u00adtion. Opera\u00adtio\u00adnal manage\u00adment remains in the hands of the exis\u00adting manage\u00adment team: Michael Walter (Commer\u00adcial Divi\u00adsion) and Harald Wei\u00df (Tech\u00adni\u00adcal Division).<\/p>\n
Frank Streit, who, like Harald Wei\u00df, origi\u00adnally comes from GBS, sees the tran\u00adsac\u00adtion as a win-win situa\u00adtion: \u201cThe sale to GBS is an important stra\u00adte\u00adgic step for Elek\u00adtron Systeme, because there are many opera\u00adtio\u00adnal synergy approa\u00adches due to the spatial as well as cultu\u00adral proxi\u00admity of the two houses.\u201d<\/p>\n
GBS Mana\u00adging Direc\u00adtor Roland Holl\u00adstein also sees it this way: \u201cWith Elek\u00adtron Systeme, we have the chance to inte\u00adgrate addi\u00adtio\u00adnal manu\u00adfac\u00adtu\u00adring and produc\u00adtion exper\u00adtise for our EMS area into the company. For exam\u00adple, we are thin\u00adking of imple\u00admen\u00adting a best-prac\u00adtice system for the two sites in Bayreuth and Wei\u00dfenohe.\u201d<\/p>\n
Chris\u00adtian Futter\u00adlieb, Mana\u00adging Direc\u00adtor at VR Equi\u00adtyp\u00adart\u00adner, is also plea\u00adsed about the new part\u00adner\u00adship: \u201cThe inte\u00adgra\u00adtion of the two compa\u00adnies repres\u00adents a great oppor\u00adtu\u00adnity for further growth. Among other things, both compa\u00adnies can now bene\u00adfit from Elek\u00adtron Syste\u00adme\u2019s long-term custo\u00admer rela\u00adti\u00adonships with seve\u00adral German blue-chip manu\u00adfac\u00adtu\u00adr\u00aders in the medi\u00adcal tech\u00adno\u00adlogy and indus\u00adtrial sectors. We believe this puts GBS in an excel\u00adlent posi\u00adtion for the future.\u201d<\/p>\n
Dr. Frank T\u00f6ff\u00adlin\u00adger, mana\u00adging part\u00adner of INDUC and initia\u00adtor of the GBS busi\u00adness unit \u201cEMS\u201d, also sees in the acqui\u00adsi\u00adtion a consis\u00adtent conti\u00adnua\u00adtion of the EMS growth course, espe\u00adci\u00adally as the sales of the busi\u00adness unit will almost double with the acquisition.<\/p>\n
