Taurus Advisory advises the shareholders of AVANTAG Energy and Philipp Rass Energy with their succession and growth strategy

The shareholders of AVANTAG Energy S.à r.l. and Philipp Rass Energy GmbH are selling 100% of their shares to MVV Enamic GmbH, a 100% subsidiary of MVV Energie AG.

With this transaction, the buyer purchases an absolute specialist and market leader in rooftop solar power plants for industry, commerce and the energy sector. AVANTAG Energy is one of the most important players in the photovoltaic sector with a strict focus on B2B. The acquisition thus paves the way to high synergy potential for the business customer division of both companies. MVV can thus ideally complement its modular product portfolio and offer its business clients integrated, decentralized and CO2-neutral solutions on site.

Taurus Advisory exclusively structured the entire transaction process for the sellers. In close coordination with the shareholders, the Taurus Advisory team (Dr. Dirk Findeisen, Alexandra Heidemann and Max Victor Müller) took over the selection and approach of financial investors and selected strategic interested parties. "The demand was extremely high right from the start - both financial investors and strategic investors were very interested. Especially because of AVANTAG's good strategic positioning," said Dr. Klaus Schmitte, Managing Partner of Taurus Advisory. "The strict focus on B2B solutions in the solar sector made AVANTAG a popular target" confirms Managing Director Dr. Dirk Findeisen.

With the sale of the company shares to MVV Enamic, the Rass brothers successfully realise their corporate succession and simultaneously initiate the next growth phase for the two companies. Dr. Ulrich Rass will continue to act as Managing Director on a transitional basis; Peter Schuth and Philipp Rass will lead the company as Managing Directors in the long term. "Taurus Advisory's resilient network and high level of industry expertise convinced me right from the start. The bidding process was therefore very structured and based on partnership. I have always known myself and my company to be in good hands and am now looking forward to the future growth strategy." says Dr. Ulrich Rass.
