INITIUM sells its stake in LVC Solutions to Atlas Copco
Today we have some important news to share: INITIUM has decided to sell its stake in LVC Solutions to Atlas Copco.
Since its inception, INITIUM has had a clear mission: to support family-owned businesses in their growth, with a long-term vision and a strong focus on entrepreneurship, people and value creation. Our buy & build strategy remains the cornerstone of our approach.
LVC Solutions has achieved exceptional growth in recent years. Thanks to a strong strategy, a driven team and a clear market positioning, the company has developed into a leading player within its niche. These achievements have not gone unnoticed and have attracted the interest of international industrial groups.
Atlas Copco’s approach is the result of this strong positioning. For LVC Solutions, this step represents a unique opportunity to enter the next phase of growth. As part of a global player, the company will gain access to an international network, additional expertise and economies of scale that will accelerate the further development of both the organisation and its employees.
For INITIUM, this decision is one of mixed feelings. We are letting LVC Solutions go with a heavy heart, given the strong bond we have built together. At the same time, we are convinced that this is the right choice in the interests of the company, its people and its future. In an increasingly consolidating market, the choice is often between growing or becoming part of a larger entity. In this case, joining Atlas Copco offers the best guarantees for sustainable further growth.
This decision is fully in line with INITIUM’s long-term vision. Our buy & build strategy remains unchanged, with our continued focus on further strengthening and expanding our existing portfolio companies, with even greater focus, commitment and ambition.
For INITIUM, this marks not an end point, but the next step in our development. It is a confirmation of our course and an extra incentive to further strengthen our role as an active and engaged shareholder.
The successful development of LVC Solutions confirms the strength of our approach: building strong companies together that are ready for the future.
We would like to thank the management and all employees of LVC Solutions for their trust, cooperation and the impressive achievements of recent years. We are convinced that, under the wing of Atlas Copco, they will write a new and successful chapter.
