Supporting globally leading UK manufacturers through strategic sales.
Brandenburg is a highly respected designer and manufacturer of insect light traps – pest management for flying insects without the use of chemicals. It is an internationally recognised brand and its products are used in over 140 countries worldwide.
Products are principally manufactured in the UK with some component production in India. Their fly trap products provide hygiene solutions to many end markets especially the manufacturing and delivery of food and are used to comply with food safety standards and to monitor levels of sanitation. The company invests in R&D to ensure that products evolve with demand and regulatory standards and is currently migrating its fluorescent product set to next generation LED.
Based in the UK, Pelsis is a global pest control technology company and supplies customers in over 80 countries worldwide. Following the acquisition, Pelsis will have a turnover approaching €200m. In September 2021 Pelsis was acquired by specialist investment manager Pamplona Capital Management from Lloyds Development Capital (LDC).
The deal highlights Headpoint’s ability to work with privately-owned UK manufacturing companies that are global leaders in their sector and advise on a sale to a highly motivated strategic buyer.
As well as the very complementary product overlap, Brandenburg strengthens Pelsis’ position in North America and opens up the hugely attractive Indian market. It also allows Pelsis to further in-house manufacture in both the UK and India.
It has been a long and rewarding journey to have built Brandenburg into the company it is today. We feel that our business is ready for the next stage in its journey. Joining the Pelsis Group presents a great opportunity for deep collaboration and further investment in product innovation. Ultimately, it improves our ability to grow and develop our business to serve our customers even better. We are very excited about the future.
Mathew Kaye, CEO, Brandenburg
It is really pleasing to have helped Mathew and the team achieve a sale to an ambitious and well-funded partner. As well as the very complementary product overlap, Brandenburg strengthens Pelsis’ position in North America and opens up the hugely attractive Indian market. It also allows Pelsis to further in-house manufacture in both the UK and India, especially attractive given the recent global supply chain challenges.
