HCapital has divested Quantal to Horizon Equity Partners

The former shareholders of Quantal, S.A. have successfully divested their stake in the company, with an investment from Horizon Equity Partners to support Quantal in its next phase of strategic growth. This support will focus particularly on expanding Quantal’s production capabilities, including the development and construction of a new, state-of-the-art manufacturing facility.

Established in 1995, Quantal is a leading Portuguese company specializing in engineering and precision metalworking, developing solutions for complex parts and supplying industrial components for capital goods production, automotive series and prototyping. Quantal has a diversified client base, working with large multinational companies in the capital goods sector primarily located in Germany and Switzerland, as well as Tier 1 automotive companies operating mainly in Iberia and France.

Founded in 2017, Horizon Equity Partners is an independent Portuguese private equity fund.

The sellers include Adelino Paulo Quintal Pereira, the founder of Quantal, and HCapital Partners, a Portuguese private equity firm focused on the Iberian mid-market. HCapital’s goal is to support companies in their growth and international development, as well as in the reorganization of their shareholder structures.

Oaklins’ team in Portugal acted as the exclusive advisor to the shareholders, HCapital and Adelino Paulo Quintal Pereira, along with his holding company, Damap Group, on the divestment of Quantal, S.A.
