| Transaction Description | The HOS Group, based in Wendlingen in southern Germany, has a strong company history of more than 200 years and is managed by the owner-family in the seventh generation. The HOS Group’s entrepreneurial activity covers the clothing, renewable energy and real estate sectors. As a part of the realignment of the group structure, Melchior Textil GmbH, operating in the workwear market, was divested. The company is involved in the development and sale of high-quality textile workwear. The company, which holds an outstanding market position in the DACH region, has access to an international distribution network with sales representatives in Scandinavia, France and Croatia. As part of the international transaction process, MGC, a joint venture of the Portuguese textile manufacturing company TMG-Acabamentos Têxteis and the British fabric manufacturer Carrington Textiles Ltd, were awarded the contract. MGC expects considerable synergies resulting from the acquisition of Melchior and ensures its market access to the DACH region. This will also enable a larger product portfolio selection for Melchior customers and an even more stable supply chain. |
