Lincoln International advises Fabrel AG on the sale of Schades A/S to Capidea Managment ApS

Frankfurt, October 2009 - Schades A/S ("Schades") headquartered in Skive, Northern Denmark is Europe's market leader for documentary paper rolls and self-adhesive labels for specialty applications. Schades supplies most of the major food retail chains, non-food retailers as well as financial institutions. The company employed close to 200 people and generated sales of approximately EUR 82m in 2008. With production facilities in Skive (Denmark), Heilbad Heiligenstadt (Germany), Ripley (UK) and Bordeaux (France) the company sells its products on the major Western European markets.

After a successful period of collaboration, Fabrel AG, a Hergiswil, Switzerland based investment holding focusing on mid-market companies sells Schades A/S to Capidea Managment ApS, based in Copenhagen, Denmark.

"Despite a very difficult market environment Lincoln International was able to generate competition in the sale process in order to facilitate a good exit for Fabrel", says Dirk Langenbach, responsible project leader at Lincoln International.

After Lincoln US recently advised in the sale of the American competitor Nashua Corporation, this deal marks Lincoln's second transaction in the industry this year.

Please contact Dirk Langenbach, Managing Director, at +49 / 69 / 97105-420 for more information on this transaction.
