Private Assets SE & Co. KGaA has successfully sold its stake in Instalighting GmbH

Hamburg, 28 November 2025. Following successful restructuring and repositioning of its wholly owned subsidiary Instalighting GmbH, acquired in 2022, Private Assets SE& Co. KGaA (Private Assets) today signed an agreement to sell all of its shares in the company. The sale is expected to be completed within the next three weeks. The buyer of the German lighting technology company is a group of private investors based in Munich. Instalighting GmbH generated sales of approximately €10 million in the 2024 financial year and has 49 employees. The sale will generate a positive effect on Private Assets' net income in the low seven-figure range.

In 2022, Private Assets acquired Instalighting GmbH as a spun-off lighting division of Insta GmbH. The company develops and manufactures integrated lighting and control systems for modern architectural lighting for both indoor and outdoor applications. As part of the acquisition, a new management team was integrated and the business with proprietary products and the export business were expanded. Private Assets primarily supported the management in strategy development and operational value creation processes.

Sven Dübbers, CEO of Private Assets: ‘We are delighted with the successful exit from Instalighting GmbH. This successful transaction underlines Private Assets' strategy of restructuring companies sustainably and confirms the value of the current portfolio. We are confident that the acquisition will enable the company to continue on its growth path.’

Stefan Hackl, Managing Director of Instalighting GmbH: "We can look back on an extremely successful collaboration with Private Assets. During ourclose collaboration with Private Assets, we were able to increase our earnings by an average of more than 40% per year and developed from a negative EBITDA to a sustainable double-digit EBITDA margin, clearly positioning ourselves above our own product range in the market. The strategic realignment and support from Private Assets gave us lots of new ideas on how to make our business more profitable in the long term."
