Headquartered in Plochingen, Germany, CeramTec manufactures high performance ceramics for various end-markets including medical, automotive, industrial and electronic.  Its proprietary product portfolio includes hip replacement implant components (notably the BIOLOX® brand), high speed cutting tools and electrical / thermal ceramic solutions.  The Group employs more than 3,400 people across 20 facilities worldwide. In the 12 months to June 2017, CeramTec generated revenues of €538 million and adjusted EBITDA of €196 million.

In particular, Cinven worked with CeramTec to:

Streamline the organisation and strengthen Group management with the reorganisation from 16 independent business units to two business segments – Medical and Industrial; the appointment of a new management board including the new CEO, Henri Steinmetz (March 2016), and new COO of the Medical business, Dr. Hadi Saleh (July 2015); and the strengthening of the team below the Board level.

Increase productivity and capital efficiency through intensive ongoing improvement programmes and centralising production management, resulting in substantially increased margins and free cash flow generation; and

Execute a successful value-accretive buy and build strategy with the acquisitions of US-based DAI Ceramics (in 2015) and the UK-based Electro Ceramics division of Morgan Advanced Materials (in 2017) reinforcing CeramTec’s strength in aerospace and piezo ceramics.

Bruno Schick, Partner at Cinven and Head of the Frankfurt office, said:

“CeramTec has been a highly successful investment due to a combination of factors: Cinven’s sector expertise, in both Healthcare and Industrials; our longstanding presence and track record in Germany which enabled us to identify and execute the transaction; our international capabilities facilitating the Group’s expansion into the US and China; and our focus and conviction.  We have worked alongside an excellent management team, as well as a highly qualified and dedicated workforce at CeramTec and we wish them every success in the future. We are delighted that the BC Partners consortium is acquiring CeramTec and will continue to invest in the business.”

Pontus Pettersson, Partner at Cinven, added:

“CeramTec is an excellent business with great prospects.  We have worked hard to transform the Group into a more agile, commercial and global enterprise delivering strong financial results. We have invested significantly, strengthened management, simplified the organisation and improved efficiency and product innovation.  We accelerated organic and international growth and executed a number of value-add acquisitions creating a first class high performance ceramics business.”

Henri Steinmetz, Chief Executive Officer at CeramTec, commented:

“Our journey from a German-centric technology leader, towards a truly global market leader is well under way. Over the past four years we have doubled our ceramic implant capacity in Marktredwitz, we have simplified the organisational set-up in our Industrial segment and we have created a leading platform in piezo ceramics with the UK acquisition of Morgan Advanced Materials. We are very grateful to Cinven for its leadership and its commitment to transforming and growing our business and we look forward to working with our new owners together as partners to realise the next stage of growth.”

The completion of the sale of CeramTec is subject to customary regulatory approval and expected in the first half of 2018.

Advisors to Cinven on the CeramTec transaction included: BofA Merrill Lynch (M&A), Morgan Stanley (M&A), Clifford Chance (Legal), McKinsey (Commercial), PricewaterhouseCoopers (Financial), Ernst & Young (Tax) and ERM (Environmental).

ALMI Invest in Videquus monitoring system for horses

Almi Invest

Almi Invest invests one million crowns in Skovde based Videquus, developing an intelligent monitoring system for horses.

The company has since last spring brought in a total of 3.5 million, also from Nudie founder Palle Stenberg and Skaraborg Invest. The money will go to the final development and market launch of the service.

There are now about 360,000 horses in Sweden, where the horse industry has sales of over 47 billion. Horses standing unattended in the stall 8-10 hours a night, and if the horse gets sick or injured, it can cause unnecessary suffering and great expense if not detected in time.

Videquus vision is to bring the latest technology to the stables to make horse ownership safer, more fun and more economically by offering an intelligent monitoring system for unattended horses. The system is based on a surveillance camera as the image recognition, machine learning and sensors can detect abnormal behavior and health of the horse, and sound the alarm if something happens.

– Videquus create the smart stables by combining IoT technology with machine learning for a practical application where there is a great need, says Christian Björkman, Investment Manager at Almi Invest. Videquus technology is at the forefront when it comes to monitoring the horses and we see good opportunities to expand in several areas.

The company was founded in 2016 in Flyinge and presented a first version of its solution to the Gothenburg Horse Show for more than a year ago.

– With the capital and the expertise we received from our investors, we are now positioned to further develop our platform so that we can launch it on the market fully, says Videquus CEO Linus Jernbom.

Launch of Videquus platform takes place on two occasions in February 2018, and at the Gothenburg Horse Show, and at Axevalla trotting.

Crosser’s software acts as an on-site middle-layer between sensors and cloud services, analysing the streaming data in real-time and enabling large cost savings and real-time local actions for time-sensitive applications. It is designed to collect all the data from sensors
or operational technology (OT) machine data in real-time, analyse the data in milliseconds, aggregate, lter, enhance and take actions on the data in a distributed way. It is typically installed on a factory oor server or IoT Gateways and can also be embedded in equipment, machines or vehicles.

”The core real-time engine has been in development for several years by Ulf Björklund, our Head of R&D and co-founder”, said Crosser CEO and co-founder Martin Thunman. ”When we started Crosser we had the foundation already built which has enabled us to bring a product to market in a very short time. The funding will allow us to expand the team and to invest in sales and marketing”.

”The opportunities for industrial companies to embrace IoT to leverage data analytics for competitive advantages are huge.In many scenarios it will require distributed and intelligent edge computing” said Finn Persson, Partner at Spintop Ventures.
“The combination of a very large market opportunity, Crosser’s technology and the expertise and track-record of the founders make us very excited to lead the seed round in the company”.

Crosser’s solution includes a cloud-based management platform with a drag ‘n drop Flow Studio for easy set-up and over-the-air con guration and software updates.

Which was implemented and customized in partnership with one of Europe’s leading software integrators. Crosser’s partnership model has gained great traction, and there are s”ome major industry projects in the pipeline.

”An Industrial IoT project is not a stand-alone initiative. Besides collecting the sensor data it is also an integration project. It is when the sensor data is combined with other enterprise data that the full value is extracted.” said Martin Thunman. “Our objective is to make it very simple to collect, analyze and integrate the streaming data. All in the edge, managed by a cloud-based platform.”
