inprotec AG partners with International Chemical Investors Group (ICIG) for further growth

26. October 2022

26th of October 2022, Munich / Luxembourg: Paragon Partners (Paragon) and its minority co-shareholders sell 100% in inprotec AG to International Chemical Investors Group (ICIG). The transaction is subject to customary antitrust clearance and expected to close in November.

Paragon acquired a majority stake in the business in 2018 and has since invested more than €20 million into expanding production facilities. Over the course of the last four years, inprotec has further strengthened its leading market position as technology leader for complex large-scale granulation/drying processes, broadened its customer base, and profitably grew with a high double-digit CAGR p.a.

With ICIG as future partner, inprotec and its current management will continue the successful growth story by leveraging inprotec’s existing strengths under new corporate ownership within the ICIG network.

“We are proud to see how inprotec has evolved over the course of our ownership period and how the company has significantly grown despite a turbulent market environment.”, states Christian Bettinger, Partner at Paragon. “We would like to thank Dr. Andreas Baranyai and Pierre Schwerdtfeger, both former managing shareholders, for their trust in partnering with us as new majority shareholder back in 2018 as well as the current management team Dr. Steve Döring (CEO) and Karsten Zastrow (CFO) for their dedication and drive executing this success story.”

“The acquisition of inprotec aligns with our long-term strategy to expand our offering in innovative, first-class contract manufacturing services,” adds Dr. Achim Riemann, Managing Director of ICIG. “We are impressed by inprotec’s superb reputation, strong customer relationships and demonstrated financial performance and would plan to grow the reach to further industries and geographies.”

Paragon was advised during this transaction by Houlihan Lokey (M&A Advisory), goetzpartners (Commercial), KPMG (Financial & Tax), Clifford Chance (Legal), Gütt Olk Feldhaus (Legal Financing), and PwC (ESG).

ICIG was advised during this transaction by PwC (Financial & Tax), Value Partner (Commercial), Taylor Wessing (Legal) and ERM (Environmental).
