Investcorp, a provider and manager of alternative investment products, has announced it has agreed the sale of Esmalglass to global private equity firm Lone Star Fund X for an enterprise value of €605 million ($692 million).
Established in 1978 in Villareal, Spain, Esmalglass is a producer of ceramic colors and glazes in the world with total sales of €400 million in 2016. Esmalglass supplies a wide range of high-value added, mission-critical intermediate products used in the manufacturing and decoration of ceramic tiles. Its products are sold to 1,200 customers through its 21 sales offices worldwide supported by manufacturing and mixing plants in Spain, Brazil, Vietnam, Portugal, Italy, Russia, China, Indonesia, India and Mexico, as well as by large design and technical assistance teams in all the major ceramic markets across the world. The company employs around 1,400 people.
Investcorp acquired Esmalglass in July 2012 and has worked with the management team to solidify the company’s position across international markets and extend its product offering.
Mohammed Al-Ardhi, executive chairman of Investcorp, said: “In 2012, many investors shied away from Spain due to the perceived risk of an EU meltdown.
Investcorp has been investing in Europe for over 35 years through a number of economic cycles, and our commitment to Esmalglass and Spain has today yielded an excellent return to our investors.”
Yasser Bajsair, managing director at Investcorp in Saudi Arabia, said: “Esmalglass represents another successful exit for Investcorp in Europe.
Our in-depth knowledge of the investment landscape in this market, combined with the growth potential that Esmalglass have played a critical role in shaping the successful company it has become. We wish the team the best of luck in this new journey.”
Antonio Blasco and Vicente Bagán, co-CEOs of Esmalglass, said: “We have greatly enjoyed our partnership with Investcorp and with their valuable investment experience and support, have increased our market share of the ceramic colors and glazes market worldwide, establishing ourselves as the number one player. Their global perspectives have helped facilitate our expansion in our core geographies, the success of which is reflected in the continued strong performance of the business.
We remain committed as a management team to our ambitious growth strategy and look forward to the opportunities that lie ahead with Lone Star.”
