At the electrical wholesaler KSK - Elektro Handelsgesellschaft mbH & Co. KG changes ownership as of November 1, 2019. By means of an asset deal, Moster Elektrogroßhandelsgesellschaft mbH will take over all assets. The previous shareholder of KSK, Michael Kehrer, thus successfully arranges his succession and secures the continuation of the traditional family business. Taurus Advisory was exclusively commissioned by the buyer to carry out the entire transaction process.
With the acquisition of KSK, Moster's market penetration in the greater Kaiserslautern and Kirn area will be significantly intensified. The electrical wholesaler, based in Ludwigshafen, is known as an extremely reliable supplier of all types of electrotechnical articles. Other business areas include the planning of building systems technology for office buildings. The range of services is rounded off by versatile logistics solutions. Moster's customer base includes the electrical trade, electrical retailers, industry and public administration.
With KSK, Moster is taking over a solidly managed electrical wholesaler with a customer base and order backlog, expert consultants, its own field sales force, service staff and vehicle fleet.
At the request of both parties, Michael Kehrer will initially remain with the company as a consultant. In this role, he will support Moster in all matters relating to the upcoming changeover process and the maintenance of customer relationships.
By successfully accompanying the transaction, Taurus Advisory and the transaction team around Dr. Schmitte make an important contribution to the realization of Moster's corporate goals. The current strategy of the management includes the expansion of market shares via a more intensive penetration of the traditional market area and the organic and inorganic expansion of the sales territory.
"Within the framework of a competitive bidding process, we succeeded, together with our client, in successfully implementing this strategically important acquisition for Moster," says Dr. Schmitte, briefly explaining the complexity of this mandate. Götz Aumüller as managing partner adds: "We have been working successfully with Taurus for many years. Also in this challenging transaction we could rely on the excellent competence of Dr. Schmitte with his team at any time."
The parties have agreed not to disclose the purchase price of the transaction.
