H2 Equity Partners acquires Sator Holding

Amsterdam, July 2009

Sator Holding is the market leading importer and distributor of spare parts for the automotive aftermarket in the Benelux and Northern France. The company offers its regional wholesale customers an efficient and highly reliable IT- and logistical infrastructure, which allows its customers to minimize inventory while in turn providing their own customers with superior delivery speed and -reliability.

Over the years, Sator Holding has demonstrated an ability to autonomously grow its turnover by increasing its market share with its customers, extending its product range and expanding geographically. The 2008 turnover amounted to approximately € 250 million and the company is on track to deliver circa 10% sales growth during 2009.

H2 Equity Partners has acquired a controlling position. The investment thesis is to create additional shareholder value by boosting the sales growth both via autonomous geographical expansion and add-on acquisitions, increase operational efficiency and reduce capital employed.
