CVC omandab Breitlingi
The hottest topic of the month is CVC's acquisition of Breitling. Founded in 1884, Breitling is one of Switzerland's few established independent watchmakers. Headquartered in Grenchen, Switzerland, the company currently has a factory in Grenchen and A factory in La Chaux-de-Fonds, employing about 900 people and producing 150,000 watches a year, making it one of the top 10 watchmakers in Switzerland.
Breitling's previous owner Ernest Schneider died in 2015, and the sale window opened. Speculation that his successor, Theodore Schneider, was seeking a buyer for Breitling began late last year, and finally came to an end when Europe's largest private equity firm, CVC Capital Partners, said in a statement in London. Will buy an 80 percent stake in Breitling from Theodore Schneider for an undisclosed price, but Bloomberg News estimates the deal is worth more than 800 million euros (870 million).
As a subsidiary of Citigroup and one of the world's leading private equity and investment advisory firms, CVC has long made a name for itself. Founded in 1981, CVC has offices in many countries and regions, including Shanghai and Hong Kong. In 2013, when Zhang LAN, the founder of South Beauty, failed to bet against CDH, CVC stepped in and bought 82.7 percent of south Beauty Group for 300 million to become the actual owner of the latter. But two years later, the two sides broke out into a bitter conflict that culminated in a court battle and south Beauty changed hands. The situation is similar to CVC's purchase of Da Niang dumplings.
In addition to a dizzying array of capital moves in China, CVC's investments in Europe, the U.S. and elsewhere in Asia have generally done well. It now has more than 50 companies around the world with annual turnover of more than 100 billion, and was given the chance to do a deal with Breitling, quite unexpectedly, as a non-watch or luxury group.
Theodore Schneider and CVC executives said CVC's marketing expertise and international network will help unlock Breitling's full potential.
