Capcellence takes majority stake in lifting-technology maker Autolift

Hamburg-based financial investor CAPCELLENCE Mittelstandspartner is taking a majority stake in the Autolift Group; managing director Johannes Nestel-Eichhausen and co-shareholder Oleksandr Yakymenko remain significantly invested. Autolift develops, manufactures and services lifting equipment for rail vehicles, buses and road vehicles, is headquartered in Austria, produces in Hungary and Serbia and supplies customers in more than 70 countries, among them Alstom, Siemens, ÖBB and SBB. The new owner is meant to help expand international growth and the service and spare-parts business; the announcement by the sellers' adviser PALLAS CAPITAL gives neither a purchase price nor a closing date, so the date of the report is used.
