  • SPRING was founded over 50 years ago as a family business and is based on long-term tradition and experience
  • Since then, SPRING managed to become a global leading manufacturer and expert for tracheostomy, laryngectomy and related ventilation and tracheal respiration products
  • Development and production facilities in Germany allow SPRING to continuously develop new, highquality and innovative premium products
  • Therefore, SPRING as a brand stands for medical technology with highest quality "Made in Germany"
  • BKHT conducted a detailed due diligence process on the group (including three international subsidiaries) with external commercial, financial and legal advisors as well as medical technology experts
  • Technical and commercial due diligence revealed very positive results, however the financial due diligence showed that the sustainable EBITDA was significantly less than expected
  • As a result, BKHT reduced its offer for SPRING and lost the process against a large strategic investor that paid a strategic purchase price of a high double-digit multiple on sustainable EBITDA
