- Divestment is part of a strategic realignment process
- BELECTRIC to focus on role as general contractor and system integrator
Kolitzheim, Germany – BELECTRIC has sold its subsidiary Jurchen Technology to Lafayette Mittelstand Capital (Lafayette). Jurchen Technology is a manufacturer of components for ground-mounted PV plants with a headquarter in Germany and an Indian production and sales outlet. The sale of Jurchen Technology is a result of a strategic realignment process, which led to the decision that BELECTRIC is no longer considering the production of components, like DC cables and PV substructures, as a core business activity. Both parties have agreed to maintain confidentiality regarding the purchase price.
“Jurchen Technology has successfully gone through difficult times and a disruptive reorganisation, resulting in innovative products and a competitive manufacturing set-up. Lafayette as the new owner, has a long-term vision to further develop these strengths, together with Jurchen’s management and staff“, explains Ingo Alphéus, CEO, BELECTRIC Solar & Battery GmbH.
Lafayette Mittelstand Capital is a privately backed investment firm with a focus on “Mittelstand” companies predominantly in Germany, Austria and Switzerland and selectively adjacent Europe for add-on acquisitions.
A Spokesperson of Lafayette, adds: “We look for investment opportunities at companies, which have achieved a sustainable market position and that is true for Jurchen Technology – a manufacturing company, which is already well established in the PV market globally. We are keen to strengthen this position further. To do this our involvement is not only financial, but also when necessary operational. Jurchen Technology has taken its business in a good direction in recent years, so we have an excellent basis on which we – together with the management and employees – can build on.”
