PARTSLIFE GmbH - Compa­ny acquisition


Partslife GmbH

About the company 

The PARTSLIFE GmbH was founded in 1995 as an indus­try soluti­on in the automo­ti­ve market ‘by the indus­try ? for the indus­try’. The aim was to prevent even stric­ter legis­la­ti­on on the legal­ly compli­ant dispo­sal of workshop waste with a volun­t­a­ry commitment.

In the meanti­me, more than 70 strong brands and more than 10,000 indepen­dent garages have joined the recog­nis­ed indus­try system. 31 renow­ned share­hol­ders, all leaders in the automo­ti­ve sector, support and act respon­si­bly in the spirit of this strong community.

Over the years, the compa­ny has acqui­red a market share of over 90 % among indepen­dent motor vehic­le ? workshops in Germa­ny. From an origi­nal licen­sing model, an exten­si­ve catalo­gue of services has develo­ped that is offered to the contract partners.

The task 

In order to keep PARTSLIFE GmbH on course for further growth, a Compa­ny acqui­si­ti­on and commis­sio­ned KERN - Unternehmens­nachfolge to look for invest­ment oppor­tu­ni­ties in three diffe­rent sectors.

As part of a target scouting process, KERN drew up a list of more than 50 poten­ti­al target compa­nies for the occupa­tio­nal health and safety consul­ting divisi­on, among others.

The targe­ted approach of several favou­red compa­nies ultim­ate­ly led to the takeover of eskor­te consul­ting GmbH in Tönisvorst.

What the client says about the project

Wolfgang Steube

With Klaus-Chris­ti­an Knuff­mann from KERN ? Unternehmens­nachfolge, I had a compe­tent entre­pre­neur and expert at my side at all times. Without the specia­lists from KERN, we would never have found such a large selec­tion of suita­ble compa­nies to take over in our favou­ri­te sectors.

It was only through Mr Knuffmann’s speci­fic approach to suita­ble compa­nies that we succee­ded in finding a long-term partner for PARTSLIFE GmbH in Mr Werner Kremer and his compa­ny, which gives us further prospects for growth.?

About the seller

eskor­te consul­ting GmbH was founded in 1992 by Mr Werner Kremer. For almost three decades, the compa­ny has specia­li­sed in provi­ding occupa­tio­nal health and safety advice, as well as occupa­tio­nal health advice, and develo­ping fire protec­tion concepts in a wide range of industries.

eskor­te consul­ting GmbH serves every­thing from large-scale retail to senior citizen and care facili­ties to larger construc­tion projects and also car repair shops. Ultim­ate­ly, this diver­si­ty of sectors convin­ced Mr Wolfgang Steube from PARTSLIFE GmbH.

For Mr Werner Kremer, the sale to PARTSLIFE GmbH was an oppor­tu­ni­ty to find a relia­ble partner for his compa­ny and to secure his compa­ny succes­si­on in a respon­si­ble manner.

Parts­li­fe GmbH not only ensures the contin­ued employ­ment of eskor­te consul­ting GmbH staff. Rather, the existing concepts, which have been tried and tested for years, could also be succes­si­ve­ly integra­ted into the area of car workshops of PARTSLIFE GmbH.

Mr Werner Kremer also support­ed PARTSLIFE GmbH in an adviso­ry capaci­ty for several years.
