Hittech Group has agreed to be sold to Apheon
Hittech Group
Hittech Group is an integrated systems supplier that provides highly complex and mission-critical components and assemblies that are deeply embedded in high-tech equipment. The company operates as an integrated development, engineering and supply partner, fully unburdening customers throughout the entire product lifecycle. Hittech’s blue-chip original equipment manufacturer (OEM) customers are active in high-growth end markets, including semiconductor, medical technology, analytical equipment and robotics and automation. Headquartered in The Hague, in the Netherlands, Hittech employs more than 750 full-time employees and operates nine state-of-the-art production/assembly facilities in the Netherlands, Germany and Malaysia.
The Deal
Driven by strong organic growth and successful acquisitions, Hittech has made significant investments in talent, production capacity and technical capabilities. Recognizing a pivotal moment for strategic expansion, Hittech sought a partner with a strong international network to support its goals of expanding its customer base, broadening its operational footprint and pursuing additional acquisitions. Lincoln International was appointed as the exclusive financial advisor and led a focused process, culminating in Apheon being selected as the preferred partner for this next growth phase.
Our Perspective
Sibert Meulenbelt, Lincoln International Managing Director who led the transaction, commented, “Hittech plays a crucial role in the development and production of high-tech equipment with the highest standards in terms of complexity, precision and cleanliness. With this transaction, Hittech is ready to continue its impressive growth trajectory. Apheon’s investment underlines the continued interest of private equity for high precision components and modules, and particularly the semiconductor equipment value chain.”
