Hampleton Partners Advises on the Sale of DOCUFY to Heidelberg LONDON, UK – Hampleton Partners, an international mergers and acquisitions and corporate finance advisory firm for technology companies, has advised DOCUFY GmbH, a German software manufacturer and a service provider for technical documentation, on its acquisition by Heidelberger Druckmaschinen AG, a German precision printing company. “We are delighted to have advised on this transaction, ” said Miro Parizek, Principal Partner at Hampleton. “Our great team of experienced executives achieved this through leveraging their strategic-focused capabilities in IT. This is yet another great example of Hampleton’s dedicated expertise and how we apply proven experience to execute an optimal transaction.” “Hampleton helped us to find a partner that is clearly a great fit for us, and one we hadn’t considered ourselves, ” said Uwe Reissenweber, DOCUFY’S Founder and Managing Director. “Heidelberg has a great reputation in Germany as an important industrial player, however, I was not aware of their vision of the digital factory and the investment they have made into developing that business unit.” Reissenweber added, “I very much look forward to being part of Heidelberg with its resources, vision and agility to respond to the requirements of Industry 4.0, and to drive further the international expansion of DOCUFY. I also look forward to joining Heidelberg management and supporting the growth of their digital business unit.” “With the takeover of DOCUFY, we are gradually implementing our strategy ‘Heidelberg goes digital!’. But the investment in the growth market of digital product life cycle management will also strengthen our own competitiveness, ” says Rainer Hundsdörfer, CEO of Heidelberg. “This transaction illustrates the continuing trend of traditional companies expanding into technology based industries via M&A. Other examples include Walmart’s purchase of Jet.com for $3 billion and Unilever’s acquisition of Dollar Shave Club for $1 billion, ” added Mr. Parizek. The engagement was led by Axel Brill with David Riemenschneider and Nicholas Milligan rounding out the transaction team for Hampleton. The expert team uses a proven methodical, structured and open approach to M&A that creates multiple options leading to the most rewarding transactions. |
