GROUPE ATLANTIC confirms its development in Germany and in energy-efficient technologies with the acquisition of Thermic Energy.
On Tuesday October 10, GROUPE ATLANTIC has completed the acquisition of 70% of Thermic Energy.
Thermic Energy is well known in Germany and other European countries for buffer tanks and sanitary hot water (SHW) tanks, that are increasingly installed in a heating and SHW installation using renewable energies (Heat pump, thermal solar, biomass…). It has a storage function between the renewable energy generation and the usage of hot water. It is so a clear instrument for the decarbonisation of the building sector, as promoted by the “EU green deal”, in particular for retrofit of existing buildings.
Damien Carroz, M&A Director of GROUPE ATLANTIC: "Thermic Energy is a key player of a growing and exciting market. This acquisition brings to our group an additional manufacturing footprint, in a cost competitive environment, and significant market shares. We are looking forward to synergies of R&D, costs and supply chain with our existing businesses, that have a similar growth trajectory”.
Rafael Zeller, CEO Thermic Energy: "The commercial footprint of GROUPE ATLANTIC and its industrial competencies will allow us to accelerate very quickly the development of Thermic Energy in Europe. Our current multi-million-euro extension project is then confirmed and even validated by our entry into GROUPE ATLANTIC.".
Rafael Zeller remains a shareholder and the managing director of Thermic Energy; with the current management team, he will continue to drive on a day-to-day basis Thermic Energy business, including relationship with customers and suppliers, brand and R&D management.
