Klimmer acquires the majority shares in the Black Forest company HMT - Häseler Metall Technik GmbH in October 2019. Taurus Advisory was exclusively mandated by the buyer with the target search and the execution of the entire transaction process.
Ernst Klimmer GmbH is an owner-managed, medium-sized family business in the field of stamping and forming technology. Initially founded as a pure toolmaker's store, the company's founder quickly developed the business into a contract manufacturer of stamped parts in the 1970s. At the end of the 1970s, the company entered the automotive industry, for which it still produces sophisticated stamped and formed parts today.
In order to keep pace with technological change and progressive internationalization in the face of growing cost and competitive pressure in the industry, the management has decided on a clear growth course, which also includes the acquisition of companies. In doing so, the focus is on a meaningful addition to the service and product portfolio of Ernst Klimmer GmbH.
In the course of the business area strategy developed in the process, with a consistent positioning as a leading supplier of high-tech solutions in the field of stamping, forming and fineblanking, Taurus Advisory was commissioned with the search for suitable business partners. For the target search, the access to new customer groups and markets had to be considered. But also synergy effects in toolmaking and economies of scale in purchasing had to be considered as relevant search criteria.
With HMT from St. Georgen, a first company for complete solutions in the field of stamping and forming technology was found, which not only has a strong company and growth history and, as a supplier for the automotive industry, fits perfectly into the portfolio of the Klimmer Group, but also brings important know-how in the fields of cleaning and surface technology, electromobility and medical technology.
"With Klimmer's entry into HMT, we achieve a strategically important strengthening of our service portfolio. As a result, we will make a good leap forward with HMT's extensive know-how and the added scope of services," Torsten Klimmer, Managing Director and son of the company's founder, is convinced.
