Capitalmind Investec has advised the owners of Suisse Technology Partners on the sale to Goodfellow Cambridge, a company in the Battery Ventures portfolio.
About the deal
Capitalmind Investec acted as exclusive M&A advisor to Suisse Technology Partners on the sale to Goodfellow Cambridge, a portfolio company of Battery Ventures.
Goodfellow Cambridge is an R&D, high technology, aerospace and science partner with operations in Europe, North America and China. Headquartered in Huntingdon, UK, the materials specialist offers a wide range of metals, alloys, technical ceramics, polymers, compounds and composites. In addition, Goodfellow provides various manufacturing processes including rolling, electroplating, sputtering, heat treatment, stamping, turning, cutting and sawing. The company received an investment from Boston-based Battery Ventures in 2021.
Suisse Technology Partners was created in 2011 as part of a spin-off and MBO from a successor company to the former Alusuisse. As a Swiss competence centre for material-based solutions and analytics, Suisse Technology Partners provides sophisticated technology services for selected industries and manufactures reference materials and niche products for aluminum.
The acquisition of Suisse Technology Partners expands Goodfellow’s science and research-focused materials portfolio and helps to open up new market opportunities for the company in the industrial and pharmaceutical sectors. With its location in Neuhausen on the Rhine Falls in the canton of Schaffhausen, Goodfellow now also has a presence in continental Europe. The focus of the acquisition is on growth and expanding the business by investing in new, customer-orientated business areas.
