Capital Transmission is participating in the acquisition of Peyer Group AG, a group of solid and sustainably profitable Swiss SMEs active in product finishing, packaging, product marking and labelling
The Peyer Group employs around 70 individuals, mainly in Switzerland and Germany, and provides services to almost 2,000 businesses in approximately 50 countries. The products Peyer finishes (which include packaging, bottles, books, cars and kitchen appliances) are consumed by millions of people around the world every day.
Over the last few years, Peyer has expanded its products and services, becoming an integrated group with a leading position in various markets. There is still room to grow, however, as the market continues to offer significant growth opportunities, both organic and inorganic. Thanks to its solid base, Peyer is perfectly positioned to make the most of this untapped potential.
Now that the owners of Peyer are reaching retirement age, they have decided to hand over the group to a new team, with an entrepreneurial spirit, which will lead the company through its next phase of growth. Peyer’s current CEO, who has been in the position for many years, will continue to lead Peyer as CEO through this next phase, alongside its new investors.
All the conditions are in place for Peyer to pursue its growth strategy with this change in shareholder structure. Peyer’s current business philosophy will not change, and its current employees will have attractive prospects for the future.
