Sale of Brandenburg UK, US and India to Pelsis Group
Deal Summary
Headpoint Advisors has advised Mathew Kaye, founder and Chief Executive Officer and the other shareholders of Brandenburg Holdings Limited, Brandenburg NA, LLC and Brandenburg (India) Private Limited to Pelsis Holding. The sale completed on 22 December 2021.
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.
