LEADING EUROPEAN AUTOMOTIVE PARTS RETAILERS ATP AND SAG JOIN FORCES

Pressath (Germany) / Cham (Switzerland), 23 December 2019. The German automotive parts online retailer Autoteile Pöllath (ATP) and the Swiss Automotive Group (SAG) have decided to join forces under the leadership of SAG, in particular in the areas of purchasing and E-Commerce.

The well-established business model of ATP and its locations in Pressath (warehouse and distribution) and Kirchenthumbach (administration) will remain unchanged. Direct purchases from parts manufacturers will be made via the newly founded Swiss company “AT Sourcing AG” to optimally utilize the synergy potentials in purchasing.
 
The agreed capital increase by SAG secures a long-term financing solution for the ATP Group and enables the Group to further develop in the growing online market.
 
ACXIT Capital Partners acted as exclusive financial advisor to Autoteile Pöllath (ATP).

The transaction is subject to approval by the competition authorities and other closing conditions.
