Ad-hoc-disclosure according to Art. 17 MAR
MBB lays the foundation for strong growth with E-mobility solutions by
Aumann
- MBB concentrates machine manufacturing companies in Aumann AG
- Aumann group recorded EUR180 million order intake to date in current
fiscal year
- Further opportunities for development through potential IPO
Berlin, 21 November 2016 - MBB SE (ISIN DE000A0ETBQ4), a medium-sized
family business, lays the foundation for very strong growth of its machine
manufacturing companies. Demand for E-mobility solutions, in particular for
motor winding machines and fully automated production lines, leads to
exceptionally strong order intake. This development has significantly
accelerated in 2016 due to increased investments by the automotive industry
in this field.
MBB concentrates its machine manufacturing activities as follows: MBB
Technologies GmbH will be transformed into Aumann AG, based in Beelen,
Germany. Aumann AG will be the parent company of fully consolidated Aumann
GmbH, Aumann Berlin GmbH, Aumann Immobilien GmbH, Aumann North America
Inc., MBB Fertigungstechnik GmbH and MBB Technologies (China) Ltd. Ingo
Wojtynia, managing partner of the Aumann companies that were acquired by
MBB in 2015, will transfer his minority shares into Aumann AG. As a result,
MBB SE will hold 93.5% of Aumann AG shares and Ingo Wojtynia 6.5%. Ludger
Martinschledde and Rolf Beckhoff have been appointed members of the
management board. Gert-Maria Freimuth, co-founder and Chairman of the Board
of MBB SE, is Chairman of the supervisory board of Aumann AG.
Aumann group is growing at an extraordinary pace. Whilst Aumann group
revenues amounted to EUR94 million in 2015 (taking into account first-time
consolidation during the fiscal year), Aumann group expects revenues in
excess of EUR150 million in 2016. Order intake in the current fiscal year
amounts to EUR180 million to date. The segment E-mobility is expected to
account for approximately 25% of overall revenues in 2016. Aumann group has
currently 569 employees, representing an increase of 94 employees compared
to 31 December 2015. During the fiscal year 2016, the Aumann group decided
to build more than 7,000 sqm of production and office space, of which 2,000
sqm are already in use. Aumann group is in a net cash position and has
equity of about EUR40 million, corresponding to an equity ratio of about
32% at the end of the third quarter of 2016.
In order to maximize development opportunities for Aumann group in the very
strongly growing future market of E-mobility, an IPO is currently being
considered. In any case, MBB will remain the majority shareholder of Aumann
AG.
