Avedon Capital Partners is a leading private equity investor in small to medium-sized companies in Benelux and Germany. Avedon invests in companies with strong founders / owners and management teams that have distinctive and ambitious growth plans. This usually requires a fundamental change in which Avedon works closely with the company management to realize these plans. The Avedon team is based in Amsterdam and Düsseldorf and manages over EUR 500 million in capital. Avedon seeks opportunities in niches in four sectors – Software & Technology, Business services, Industry & Engineering and Consumer products & Leisure. Avedon has a very strong track record when it comes to supporting growth: Over the years, the team has supported 25 growing companies in strategic (re)positioning, revenue growth, human capital and operational improvements.

Hauck’s mission is to “make babies happy”. Started in 1923 as a traditional basketry in Sonnefeld (Upper Franconia/Germany), Hauck has continuously broadened and refocused its portfolio. In the 1970s strollers and baby beds were eventually added, and since 1989 the company has offered products in different licences next to their own products. The lifestyle brand iCoo was founded in 2002. Today, Hauck Group is led by the 4th generation and has developed into a leading brand for strollers, safety seats, indoor baby equipment as well as toys and accessories. Through its distributor and partner network, the company operates on a global scale.

The Rautenberg Moritz & Co. team advised the buyer throughout the process, in particular in business planning and financial modelling and through the development of a Commercial Due Diligence and a Value Creation Plan for the company.
