Following the termination of the insolvency proceedings over the assets of Lindenfarb Textilveredlung Julius Probst GmbH & Co. KG on 31 October 2017 and fulfilment of further contractual conditions, the Munich-based investment company RADIAL Capital Partners has completed the company's acquisition from the Probst family.

Lindenfarb is Europe's largest independent textile finisher and market leader for knitwear. The company refines predominantly technical textiles, which are used inter alia for automotive headliners. The company generates annual revenues of more than EUR 30 million with about 300 employees at its site in Aalen-Unterkochen, Germany.

"We have acquired a long-established company with unique expertise in the field of textile color development, which holds a strong market position", says Michael Nier, the new Managing Director at Lindenfarb and Director Operations at RADIAL Capital Partners. "We will seamlessly and consistently build on the success that has already been achieved in order to improve Lindenfarb's profitability. We will further strengthen the business relationships with our current customers and expand these by already initiated textile refinement innovations and joint development projects".

Hans-Bernd Geene, Head of Sales at Lindenfarb, is convinced: "Together with the team of RADIAL Capital Partners we will successfully master the future".
