Nanogate SE divests Nanogate Textile & Care Systems GmbH

Göttelborn, Germany, May 20, 2021. Nanogate SE has successfully divested its subsidiary Nanogate Textile & Care Systems GmbH as part of a management buyout.

The subsidiary develops, manufactures and sells products primarily in the shoe and textile care sector. As part of the Group's restructuring strategy, it is no longer part of the core business. The buyer is Benzy Verwaltung GmbH, whose managing partners Holger Zytur and Salah Bendjaballah are long-standing managers at Nanogate Textile & Care Systems GmbH. The current six employees will continue to be employed by Nanogate Textile & Care Systems GmbH. In the future, the Nanogate Group and Nanogate Textile & Care Systems GmbH will work closely together, for example in the area of production. The transaction will take economic effect on 1 January 2021. The purchase price will be used to service claims by secured bank creditors of Nanogate SE as part of the ongoing insolvency proceedings in self-administration.

Nanogate SE had already agreed to sell significant parts of its core business to the US-based Techniplas Group on 8 May 2021 (see announcement dated 8 May 2021). Furthermore, negotiations regarding the sale of Nanogate Electronic Systems GmbH are still ongoing.
