PINOVA sells ECOROLL to Indutrade

Funds managed by PINOVA (“PINOVA”) have sold their majority stake in ECOROLL Holding GmbH (“ECOROLL”) to the publicly listed company Indutrade AB, Sweden (“Indutrade”).

ECOROLL is a leading supplier of specialized roller burnishing and deep rolling tools for the mechanical finishing of metallic surfaces. The tools are used in highly stressed components, particularly in the aerospace, mechanical engineering, automotive and medical technology industries. By increasing component life and improving surface quality, ECOROLL’s solutions play a key role in the quest for more sustainable components and allow customers to reduce the carbon footprint of machined parts by up to 25%.

Following PINOVA’s investment in 2021, ECOROLL was able to further expand its technology leadership, particularly through the development of digital solutions for process control, gain well-known international customers and thus record continuous growth. Thanks to a renewed brand image and sales approach, new digital sales channels were also opened up, laying the foundations for continued growth. Herbert Seggewiß, the responsible partner at PINOVA, comments: “Thanks to the partnership-based cooperation with the Management Board and co-partner Dr. Karsten Röttger, we have succeeded in continuing ECOROLL’s growth path and underlining the sustainability aspect of ECOROLL’s solutions in the market approach.”

PINOVA was advised on the transaction by Livingstone Partners (sell-side M&A advisor), Crowe (financial & tax) and CMS (legal).
