MY ROLE
Successful carve-out and sale of Schaeffler's global automotive chain drive systems business to funds advised by DUBAG. A well-prepared structured process delivered an appropriate solution to the seller and its stakeholders while enabling the next chapter of growth for the asset under specialist ownership — a template that has since become a reference case for ICE-to-EV portfolio rotations in the supplier base.
"Automotive suppliers considering portfolio adjustments toward electric propulsion can count on a number of specialized financial investors providing acceptable solutions to sellers and their stakeholders." — Patrick von Herz
