The transaction regarding H.I.G.'s participation in the Heller Group is subject to the usual regulatory approvals, as it is said. Heller was founded in 1894 and has been headquartered in Nürtingen since then. With around 2,600 employees, the company develops and produces modern CNC machine tools and manufacturing systems for high-precision, high-productivity metal processing and machining. With five production sites in Europe, Asia, and North and South America, and 30 sales and service branches, Heller is optimally positioned to serve customers from many industries—such as mechanical engineering, aerospace, energy technology, defense, and commercial vehicles—worldwide. The declared aim of the new partnership is to successfully guide the company through the transformation initiated by the CEO of the Heller Group, Dr. Thorsten Schmidt, two years ago.

Heller aims to secure the future with the investment company

H.I.G. will contribute its extensive experience in mechanical engineering, its global network, and significant financial resources, as is learned. The owning family will remain substantially involved in the company. The character of the long-established family business will thus be preserved. Nicole Pfleiderer and Marc Heller, owners in the fourth generation of the Heller family, comment: "We are very pleased that we have found the perfect partner in H.I.G. Capital to successfully lead Heller into the future together." H.I.G. has an impressive track record and extensive expertise in mechanical engineering, as well as a global network from which they will greatly benefit. This partnership is now the basis for sustainable investments in the company's future fields. The Heller decision-makers are convinced that they will emerge successfully from the transformation.
