A majority share in WELP Group has been sold to IMC Individual Mobility Capital GmbH
The former private majority shareholder and long-time managing director of WELP Holding GmbH, Nina Welp, has sold the majority of her shares to IMC Individual Mobility Capital GmbH.
WELP Group designs and manufactures specialty-protected and armored vehicles in small and micro series. The group also specializes in plastic injection molding, toolmaking and metal components and the production of luxurious interior solutions. WELP Group’s clientele includes large automotive companies, high-profile individuals, NGOs and public sector clients. Employing approximately 900 people, the group comprises several subsidiaries, including IndiKar (Zwickau), Farmingtons Automotive (Georgsmarienhütte) and Dressel & Höffner (Coburg and Romania), with additional locations in France and the UK.
IMC Individual Mobility Capital GmbH is a management and investment holding company based in Zwickau, with a strategic interest in the business of WELP Holding GmbH.
“My primary motivation for this decision was to organize my succession in a timely and sustainable manner, while ensuring a shareholder structure built on trust and mutual confidence. I believe this objective has been fully realized through the repositioning of my co-managing shareholder, Ronald Gerschewski, and the addition of co-investor Uwe Schneider,” said Nina Welp, former majority shareholder and managing director of WELP Group.
Oaklins’ team in Germany acted as the exclusive sell-side M&A advisor to the shareholders of WELP Group throughout the transaction process.
