Wetzlar / Wesel / Munich — Nachfolgekontor, together with sonntag corporate finance a leading German M&A advisory boutique, has successfully advised RMS GmbH (“RMS”), known for its special LÜRA storage products, on its sale to the new majority shareholder Hohnhaus & Jansenberger Group (“HJG”). With this transaction, RMS GmbH, which specializes in steel construction and bulk goods storage technology, is aiming for further national and international growth.
RMS GmbH was founded in 1996 with a focus on the development, production and sale of highly specialized products for the storage and sorting of bulk materials and thus offers tailor-made system solutions for bulk materials logistics. Their robust, multifunctional LÜRA partition walls made of steel form the basis. They are used for the flexible construction of mobile-modular box systems and a wide range of hall options including roof constructions.
New prospects for RMS through strategic majority shareholder
RMS intends to continue its growth trajectory of recent years in the future: Founded in 2013, the Hohnhaus & Jansenberger Group (“HJG”) is an investment company focused on medium-sized companies in German-speaking countries that has extensive industrial experience, particularly in metal processing. The company focuses on operational support for acquired companies and pursues a long-term investment approach. In total, around EUR 30 million has been invested in SMEs in the DACH region since the company was founded.
With the majority stake now held by Munich-based HJG, RMS will expand its position in the market and at the same time clarify the future succession of RMS Managing Director Stephan Lüger. He will remain with RMS as managing director and shareholder; Peter Jansenberger, partner at HJG, will also join the management team.
New name, same values: RMS becomes LÜRA as part of the acquisition
RMS takes the start of the fourth decade of the company’s history and the new ownership structure as an opportunity to set the course for the future: At the same time as the changes at shareholder level, the company is being renamed from RMS to LÜRA. From a strategic point of view, this is a sensible step, as the brand name already stands for unique products that combine innovation and quality in the bulk solids market.
Stephan Lüger, Managing Director of RMS: “For around 30 years, we have been creating flexible, durable system solutions for bulk goods logistics with LÜRA — solutions that are only available from us. I am delighted to have gained the Hohnhaus & Jansenberger Group as a strong partner for my company. We agree on our business philosophy. For us, the cornerstones are appreciation and long-term partnerships with customers, suppliers and employees.”
Peter Jansenberger, Partner of the Hohnhaus & Jansenberger Group, adds: “We got to know Mr. Lüger and RMS very well in advance and are looking forward to shaping the future together with an entrepreneur of such competence and integrity.”
