Familienunternehmen: Exklusiv: Haniel verkauft seine wachstumstärkste Beteiligung
Vor anderthalb Jahren hat Haniel angekündigt, eine zweite Investment-Säule aufzubauen. Dafür veräußert das Beteiligungshaus nun die Mehrheit von Bauwatch an zwei Finanzinvestoren.
Düsseldorf - In a significant move, the family-owned investment firm Haniel has decided to sell 90% of its most growth-focused portfolio company to US-based Carlyle and Luxembourg-based CVC. According to Haniel's CEO Joachim Drees, the deal was exclusively revealed to the Handelsblatt newspaper. The exact purchase price remains undisclosed.
Financial circles estimate the company's valuation at around a billion euros. Drees expressed that "it's a big day for Haniel and the owner strategy developed 18 months ago." In 2024, Drees took over as the company's leader. The owner family had chosen a two-pillar strategy: one pillar consisted of a portfolio of seven companies and three majority stakes, while the second pillar aimed to build an investment pillar to diversify their portfolio further, increase predictability, and ensure stability for the family's value development, which comprises over 700 members.
