Our team advised Kälte Eckert Group, a portfolio company of Triton Partners, on the acquisition of Meilbeck Kälte- und Klimatechnik GmbH. The transaction was signed in June 2023.

Kälte Eckert is one of the leading specialists for the installation and maintenance of refrigeration systems with a focus on natural refrigeration. The service portfolio ranges from consulting and planning to the installation and maintenance of systems. Kälte Eckert and its seven group companies currently employ over 100 people throughout Germany.

Meilbeck is a refrigeration specialist for CO2-based systems and customised control technology based in Grünberg near Giessen. In addition to commercial and industrial customers, the focus is on the food retail sector.
