PwC Corporate Finance advises Giroflex on the sale of the Group and its subsidiaries to Flokk A.S., a portfolio company of Triton.
A team of PwC Switzerland led by Sascha Beer, Partner Corporate Finance/ M&A, acted as lead advisor to Giroflex Holding AG, a manufacturer of award-winning office chairs generating c. EUR 42 million of revenues with c. 200 employees in Switzerland, Belgium, Germany, France and the Netherlands.
Flokk is one of the leading office chair manufacturers in Europe with sales of c. EUR 140 million and 550 employees. Acquired by Triton, a private equity fund, in 2014, the company has since then made several add-on acquisitions.
According to Flokk’s managing director, Lars Roiri, the acquisition allows Flokk to expand outside of Scandinavia with Giroflex complementing Flokk’s existing activities and geographic footprint. The acquisition is part of Flokk’s goal to double its turnover within three to five years via both organic growth and further acquisitions.
