KION Group Funding Rounds

DateStageInvestorsRaisedValuationRev. MultipleDeal Summary
Mar-15SecondaryWeichai Power--Weichai Power purchased a block representing approximately 5% of KION Group in March 2015. The shares formed part of the final disposal by Superlift Holding, the vehicle through which KKR and Goldman Sachs held their investment. Superlift placed its remaining 18.8% holding across February and March, and the named Weichai block increased that investor’s ownership to 38.3%. KKR and Goldman Sachs ceased to be KION shareholders after those placements. Weichai had already become a KION shareholder in 2012 and remained the largest single investor after the transaction. The annual report did not identify a separate consideration for this block.
Aug-12Strategic investmentWeichai Power$589M$2.4BWeichai Power agreed on August 31, 2012 to acquire a 25% interest in KION Group through a €467 million capital increase. The investment formed part of a broader strategic industrial partnership and completed on December 27, 2012. KION was then owned by investors including KKR and Goldman Sachs. The capital increase strengthened the forklift manufacturer’s balance sheet and supported repayment of existing debt. The partnership also envisaged cooperation in distribution, procurement, components and access to Asian and European markets. Separately, Weichai agreed to purchase a majority interest in KION’s hydraulics business for €271 million, making the combined commitment €738 million. The €467 million recorded for this event relates specifically to new equity in KION and does not include the separate hydraulics purchase. Weichai’s investment introduced an industrial shareholder alongside the existing financial investors and established a continuing strategic relationship.

The holding company owns interests in the regional Willenbrock operating businesses and an access-platform subsidiary. At the end of 2013, the group employed more than five hundred people and reported approximately EUR165 million of annual revenue. KION’s Linde Material Handling business increased its ownership from twenty-three percent to seventy-four percent that year through a succession transaction involving a departing founding shareholder.

Manusom is a French material-handling equipment dealer based in Rivery. The company supplied STILL-branded industrial trucks and associated dealer services to business customers in its regional market. Its operating business supported companies using forklifts and warehouse equipment for the handling and movement of goods. Revenue arose from equipment distribution and the related service relationship with customers. The company was already majority owned within the KION group before the remaining minority interest was acquired in 2013. That ownership consolidation formed part of KION’s programme to strengthen its direct sales and service presence in France. The business represented a local dealer operation within the broader brand network rather than a separate manufacturer of the equipment it distributed.
