Stegelitz, 02 June 2021: Attorney at Law Dr. Björn Hellfeld sells cct Stegelitz GmbH to the British AlphaCo Group enabling a restructuring solution for the entire workforce.
cct Stegelitz GmbH is a well-known producer of recovered Carbon Black from used tires (rCB) supplying international tire manufacturers and other industrial companies. Since 2015, it is part of the listed Pyrolyx Group, which is also involved in the environmentally friendly recovery of Carbon Black with sites in Germany and the USA. rCB is used in the production of new tires as well as in the plastics, technical, rubber and masterbatch industries.
cct Stegelitz GmbH had to file for insolvency on the 27th of January 2021 due to high operating losses as well as a failed financing round of the group. Attorney at law Dr. Björn Hellfeld was appointed as (preliminary) insolvency administrator. An international investor process was set up within a very short period and numerous investors could be attracted, although business operations were on hold. After several rounds of negotiations, the British AlphaCo Group was selected as new investor being able to convince with the most viable and attractive offer. The production site in Stegelitz and all employees will be taken over by way of an asset deal.
AlphaCo Group is a UK-based company specializing in the production of alternative petrochemical products. With its Polish subsidiary EuroEco Fuels Poland Sp. z.o.o., the group currently recycles over 70,000 tons of rubber per year. Its shareholders have provided AlphaCo with equity capital of EUR 60 million to invest in sustainable business models. The acquisition of cct Stegelitz GmbH will further strengthen AlphaCo’s position as a leader in waste rubber processing as well as its presence in Europe.
ACXIT Recovery Management acted as exclusive M&A advisor to cct Stegelitz GmbH and the preliminary insolvency administrator during the investor process.
