The completed sale signals the continuation of our clear portfolio strategy and we can now focus even more sharply on the segments in which we see the best strategic fit within our Group in the medium term. The positioning of our three existing segments provides us with a good basis for capturing value growth potential going forward.
We wish the management and employees of the divested segment every success for the future. In order to enable a smooth start outside the KAP Group, we are accompanying and supporting the beginning of independence in some areas with temporary service agreements as part of the carve-out. In this way, KAP is staying true to its partnership-based investment philosophy into the initial months following the sale of the companies.”
