Verder Group has acquired Sauermann

The Verder Group has acquired Sauermann from private shareholders, including CEO Serge Bohyn and the French private equity groups IXO Private Equity and Credit Mutuel Equity.

Verder is a global manufacturer and distributor of advanced industrial pumping solutions and leading-edge laboratory equipment. With a focus on innovation and quality, Verder serves customers worldwide across multiple industries, including chemicals, food and beverage and water treatment. Verder operates a network of more than 80 organizations worldwide, providing sales support and technical service and ensuring customer proximity. This is vital for offering spot-on solutions as well as establishing and maintaining long-term trusted partnerships.

For 45 years, the Sauermann Group has designed, manufactured and sold products and services dedicated to the industrial and HVACR markets. It specializes in condensate removal pumps (CRP) and measuring instruments. Sauermann specifically focuses on the detection, measurement and control of indoor air quality (IAQ). They serve their global niche markets with two leading brands: Sauermann and Kimo.

Serge Bohyn was the CEO and principal shareholder of Sauermann for over 25 years. Together with the French private equity groups IXO Private Equity and Credit Mutuel Equity, they decided to implement the sale process.

Oaklins’ team in France acted as the exclusive buy-side M&A advisor to the Verder Group throughout the acquisition process. They assisted in all aspects of this process, from leveraging their connections and market knowledge in order to initiate contact with the sellers and their advisors to negotiating the most favorable deal terms.

Parties
“We are thrilled to welcome Sauermann to the Verder family. This acquisition not only strengthens our position in the HVACR market, but also aligns with our commitment to delivering advanced technological solutions to our customers. We are confident that together we will achieve new heights in innovation and global niche market expansion.”
