Montanhydraulik Group announces that One Equity Partners (“OEP”) has agreed to acquire a shareholding in the Group as a new shareholder. OEP is an internationally active private equity firm focused on middle-market companies in the industrial, healthcare, and technology sectors in North America and Europe. Since 2001, OEP has completed more than 500 transactions worldwide and operates with an experienced team across offices in New York, Chicago, Frankfurt, and Amsterdam.

The sale process was carefully prepared by the existing shareholders of Montanhydraulik Group and conducted in an orderly and structured manner. The objective was to secure the long-term future of the Company while ensuring the highest possible level of stability and continuity for employees, customers, and business partners. With OEP, Montanhydraulik has gained a partner that shares this approach and will actively support the further development of the Group.

“We are pleased to welcome One Equity Partners as an experienced and internationally positioned partner that shares our strategy and long-term vision,” said Jens Ennen, CEO of Montanhydraulik Group. “OEP brings extensive experience in the further development of global industrial companies. Together, we will strengthen our position in existing markets, develop new products, and expand our international presence.”

OEP sees significant potential in further internationalization as well as in an M&A-driven growth strategy. “Montanhydraulik is exceptionally well positioned to benefit from global trends such as the modernization of critical infrastructure and the expansion of renewable energy,” said Philipp von Meurers, Partner at One Equity Partners. “We look forward to working closely with the management team to initiate the next phase of growth for the Group,” added Marc Lindhorst, Partner at One Equity Partners.

The transaction is subject to approval by the relevant regulatory authorities. The parties currently expect the transaction to close toward the end of Q1 2026. The financial terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
