WINTERGERST helps Allgäu Fresh Foods find a new majority owner: Kupfer Holding SE

With the entry of Kupfer Holding SE to the partnership, Allgäu Fresh Foods GmbH & Co. KG wins a strong strategic majority partner. In the course of the future alignment Kupfer will acquire a majority stake in the partnership before the end of the year, with the Feneberg family remaining committed to the company, retaining a minority stake. WINTERGERST Societät für Unternehmer-Beratung provided extensive vendor-side support in the course of a structured investor process.

Strategic partner for sustainable growth

With the investment of Kupfer, Allgäu Fresh Foods strengthens its position in the rapidly growing segments of convenience, plant-based alternatives and organic meats. With its broad product range, Kupfer brings additional production skills to the table and, at the same time, strengthens market access via core distribution channels. Synergies will be exploited by bundling central functions, such as sales and distribution, purchases, finance and administration to extend the depth of the value chain, improve efficiency and strengthen marketing.

“A decisive factor for the success of the transaction was the trusting relationship that developed between the parties at an early stage,” adds the managing partner, Volker Wintergerst, who was in charge of the project at WINTERGERST. “The shared perspective of long-term growth played a major role in the rapid conclusion of the project.”

The successful transaction was accompanied by an experienced team of project consultants at WINTERGERST Societät für Unternehmer-Beratung, consisting of Volker Wintergerst, Christian Scharfenberger, Simon Ulmer and Florian König.
