Hanse Yachts last week announced the completion of a share purchase that makes Andreas Müller the majority stakeholder. Müller and CEO Hanjo Runde acquired the shares previously held by private investment firm Aurelius.
“We would like to thank all parties involved for the efficient and focused cooperation,” Runde said in a statement. “We will continue to pursue our strategic direction with determination. The new framework conditions — particularly the replacement of previous bank liabilities — now give us significantly more entrepreneurial flexibility and open up new opportunities for the development of our company.”
Müller added in the statement: “Hanse Yachts is facing a promising future. I look forward to working closely with Hanjo Runde. We are united by the entrepreneurial pragmatism of the midsized sector and a shared vision of sustainable, family-driven entrepreneurship.”
