Coperion Group bought out

Private equity company Deutsche Beteiligungs AG (DBAG) is buying the Coperion Group from British investor Lyceum Capital.

The Coperion Group, based in Stuttgart, Germany, designs, supplies and maintains systems, machines and components for the plastics, chemicals, pharmaceuticals and food industries (See Plastics Additives & Compounding January/February 2007). In the next few years, the company hopes to expands its service business, further improve its business processes and exploit the market opportunities arising as a result of the strong, growing demand for its products, particularly in Asia and the Middle East.

“Our many years of cooperation with Lyceum Capital were exceptionally fruitful, and we are convinced that with the DBAG, we will be able to put our strategy, with its emphasis on continuity and profitable growth, into practice seamlessly and successfully in the future, too,” says Manfred Eiden, chief executive of the Coperion Group.
