5 Partners - 1 Perfect Outcome

G.S. Stolpen GmbH & Co. KG, a steel processing company founded in 1903 with around 150 employees, decided to sell in 2021 due to the advanced age of its five partners. After two failed attempts to sell independently, they turned to CARL. With CARL's support, potential buyers were contacted by February, and three promising offers were received by May. The partners chose the strategic investor Metall-Chemie Holding GmbH. Despite some delays, the sale was completed on December 20, 2021. Most partners retired, while one will remain as a manager for a year. Despite pandemic-related challenges, the sale was ultimately successful and satisfactory for all parties.
