Investcorp to acquire majority stake in German logistics consultancy Miebach

Investcorp snaps up majority stake in Miebach: Bahrain-based alternative asset manager Investcorp has signed a definitive agreement to acquire a majority stake in German logistics consultancy outfit Miebach Logistik Holding GmbH, according to a press release. The purchase could value the company at roughly EUR 150 mn — a valuation that also accounts for the firm’s debt obligations, Bloomberg reports, citing people familiar with the matter.

What’s next: The acquisition — whose value is yet to be formally disclosed — is expected to close in 2Q 2025, subject to regulatory approval, with Miebach’s current owners retaining a minority stake.

Investcorp’s end-game: Investcorp intends to grow Miebach both organically and via mergers and acquisitions, as well as bring on more consulting talent, head of European Private Equity Buyouts Group at Investcorp José Pfeifer told Bloomberg. Supply chain restructuring efforts like onshoring and reshoring initiatives have seen high traction since 2020’s Covid-19 pandemic, Pfeifer added, suggesting that a healthy outlook awaits the German player.

Investcorp’s European investment spree: This is Investcorp’s fifth private equity investment in Europe in the past 15 months. Last January, it acquired Italian alternative payments enabler Epipoli, following its acquisition of the UK’s Stowe Family Law in September 2024.

About Miebach: The Frankfurt-based consultant develops supply chain solutions for clients in various sectors, including automotive, consumer goods, and pharma, according to its website. The firm has operations in 22 countries.
