Quantum Capital Partners (“Quantum”) in Munich (Germany), today announced that Xandor Mürdter Automotive GmbH, a company owned by Quantum Opportunity Fund II GmbH & Co. KG, has acquired 100% of the shares of Mürdter Group (“Mürdter” or “the Company”) from the Mürdter family. The transaction was managed by Quantum’s Team in Munich.
Mürdter, headquartered in Mutlangen, Germany, is a leading automotive supplier of plastic injection molding components with sophisticated geometries, including complex assembly, gluing and welding processes. The Company’s product range contains surface parts as well as structural/functional parts for its long-standing blue-chip OEM and tier-1 customer base. Furthermore, the Company maintains its own tool making facilities, designing and manufacturing tools for both internal injection molding and external customers. The Mürdter plastic molding and equipment tooling businesses operate through four sites in Germany and Czech Republic. The Company currently employs a total workforce of c. 585 employees.
Combined with Xandor Automotive’s Plastics division, a company having its production footprint in the United Kingdom (previously active in the market as Rosti Automotive, acquired by Quantum in January 2020), Xandor Mürdter will offer its customers a truly international production footprint, reaching more than EUR 200m revenues p.a.
Mr. Normann Mürdter and Mr. Robert Mürdter managed and developed the Mürdter Group for almost 30 years. Due to a lack of family succession alternatives, they decided to let Mürdter Group become part of a larger automotive supplier. They will continue to manage the daily operations at Mürdter under the leadership of Mr. Gunther Hiller, the CEO of Xandor’s Connectors as well as Plastics activities.
Steffen Görig, CEO and founder of Quantum comments: "The Mürdter family established a leading automotive supplier well renowned in the industry for its high quality, engineered product portfolio of injection molded components and sub-assemblies. Together with our current management team of Xandor Automotive and the Mürdter management, we look forward to further developing the business within Xandor Mürdter and to realize its full growth potential.”
