Deal details

The insolvency administrator of Arthur Habermann GmbH & Co. KG, Dr. Markus Wischemeyer of White & Case Insolvenz GbR in Dortmund, has mandated CVM Capital Value Management GmbH with a structured M&A process for the sale of the company’s assets. The well-established company Arthur Habermann GmbH & Co. KG produces at two separate locations in Witten with roughly 160 employees pumps, suction dredgers and special plastics for industrial usage. For more than 40 years, Arthur Habermann GmbH & Co. KG offers individual solutions for pumps. The scope of services covers all aspects from construction to production. The core business are armoured pumps for the transportation of abrasive and / or corrosive media. These pumps are mainly used within the sand and gravel industry, tunnelling as well as chemical and steel industry. Due to high quality, pumps of Arthur Habermann GmbH & Co. KG have an excellent reputation internationally. The buyer of the pump unit of Arthur Habermann GmbH & Co. KG is Aurum Pumpen GmbH founded in 1992. The company has specialised on the production and distribution of pumps and dredgers for the heavy industry. The product portfolio offered essentially comprises water and slurry pumps as well as pumps for the (petro-)chemical industry and can be perfectly supplemented with this transaction. CVM Capital Value Management GmbH supported the entire process, from the identification of potential investors to the successful finalisation of the sales process of the pump unit of Arthur Habermann GmbH & Co. KG in August 2015. Previously, the suction dredger and plastic unit of Arthur Habermann GmbH & Co. KG have already been sold to two separate investors. Thus, viable solutions to all three technology divisions of Arthur Habermann GmbH & Co. KG were found.
