Investec Advisory acted as exclusive financial advisor to Limtronik Group on its staged sale to Videoton Group.

About the deal

Limtronik, an Electronics Manufacturing Services (EMS) company headquartered in Germany with additional operations in the United States, has entered into a strategic partnership with Videoton Group, a well-established family-owned Hungarian EMS leader. As part of this collaboration, Videoton acquired an initial minority stake in Limtronik Group. This partnership will enable both companies to access additional local manufacturing capacities and leverage established sales networks across Europe and the USA.

The partnership underscores a joint commitment to innovation and sustainable growth. The parties have agreed on a long-term collaboration that is expected to deepen over time, jointly seizing new market opportunities, further expanding industry presence, and enabling deeper operational integration.

With this transaction, Videoton Group establishes a production footprint in Germany and the United States—two key markets in the global electronics industry. This allows for the efficient and high-quality servicing of local industry segments, with short lead times and full compliance with regional regulatory frameworks.

The overarching goal of the gradual integration is to create a seamless, vertically integrated value chain with international proximity, ultimately delivering greater value to customers. Both parties view this transaction as a strategic opportunity to strengthen their respective market positions and unlock new growth potential. A key pillar of the transaction is the long-term cooperation between the management teams of both companies.
