Mesutronic becomes part of the Indus Holding

Indus Hold­ing from Ber­gisch Glad­bach acquires a major­i­ty share of the detec­tion sys­tem spe­cial­ist locat­ed in Kirch­berg im Wald, Ger­many. Invest­ment com­pa­ny Indus is spe­cial­ized in com­pa­ny suc­ces­sion in SME’s and long term and sus­tain­able enter­prise devel­op­ment. The oper­a­tive man­age­ment will stay unchanged for the fore­see­able future. As daugh­ter com­pa­ny, also the Mesutron­ic France SAS becomes part of Indus Holding.

In over 25 years of com­pa­ny his­to­ry, Mesutron­ic Geräte­bau lived through dif­fer­ent stages of growth. The oper­a­tive busi­ness start­ed in 1993 with a staff of 5. Today more than 40.000 sys­tems have been sold to over 50 coun­tries, while the com­pa­ny grew to over 210 employees.

To secure fur­ther devel­op­ment in the future, the com­pa­ny own­ers, most­ly still work­ing active­ly in man­age­ment, have decid­ed to set­tle the mat­ter of suc­ces­sion ear­ly on.

„We had time to decide on a real­ly fit­ting part­ner“ says Karl-Heinz Dür­rmeier (60), CEO and man­ag­ing part­ner of Mesutronic.

Indus is an expert for suc­ces­sion in medi­um sized enter­pris­es and so called “Hid­den Cham­pi­ons“. Dr.-Ing. Johannes Schmidt (58), chair­man of the Indus AG gives a clear state­ment on this top­ic: “As the lead­ing spe­cial­ist in the field of sus­tain­able invest­ment in the Ger­man-speak­ing SME sec­tor, we acquire most­ly own­er-man­aged com­pa­nies and assist them in set­ting a long-term tra­jec­to­ry for their entre­pre­neur­ial development.”

The group cur­rent­ly holds shares in 45 com­pa­nies of var­i­ous indus­tries, amongst oth­ers in engi­neer­ing, life sci­ence and auto­mo­tive technology.

“With Indus at our side we are well posi­tioned for the future. In addi­tion to our own resources, we can now tap in the entre­pre­neur­ial know-how and the sup­port of a com­pa­ny fam­i­ly with more than 10.000 employ­ees. With this back­up we can now focus on boost­ing our future devel­op­ment projects.” explains Karl-Heinz Dür­rmeier further.

The oper­a­tive man­age­ment staff will remain unchanged for the next years to come. Also, in terms of cus­tomer or sup­pli­er rela­tions there are no changes to be expected.
