KGaA (ISIN: DE000A2NB650), has sold Balcke-D\u00fcrr Rothem\u00fchle to Howden Group after a successful reorganization and carve out. Balcke-D\u00fcrr Rothem\u00fchle is an integrated service, engineering and original equipment provider to the flue gas path segment of power and process plants. The company was established in 1936 and is a leading global provider of Air Preheaters, Gas-Gas Heaters and related heat recovery equipment. The transaction is expected to close in Q1 2021 and is subject to regulatory approval.<\/p>\n<p>Mutares acquired the business as part of the acquisition of Balcke-D\u00fcrr Group in November 2016 from SPX Corporation based in Charlotte, USA. Focal points of the restructuring process have been footprint adjustments, capacity optimization as well as a focus on service-related business. The unit was carved out in 2019 with the aim of being sold as an independent entity. In 2019 the company generated a turnover of EUR 23.0 million with a team of 55 employees. The entire management team will remain on board.<\/p>\n<p>Johannes Laumann, CIO of Mutares, comments: \u201cThis sale highlights our core competence of refocusing businesses to their fundamental expertise, in this case the profitable service business. Due to management empowerment and successful repositioning as an independent entity we have revitalized the Rothem\u00fchle brand and established it in the market. We believe Howden is the ideal new owner to lead the company into the next phase of internationalization, both in terms of products and technology.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ross B Shuster, CEO of Howden, said: \u201cRothem\u00fchle\u2019s service and product offerings support our environmental technology efforts by reducing emissions and improving plant operating efficiencies in their critical processes. This acquisition will extend Howden\u2019s presence in the German market, whilst giving the Company access to Howden\u2019s global network. We are pleased to welcome the Rothem\u00fchle team to Howden.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>About Howden Group<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Howden is a leading global provider of mission critical air and gas handling products.
