Frankfurt a.m. – Alantra has advised Deutsche Private Equity GmbH (“DPE”) and its portfolio company Erdo Holding B.V. (“Erdo”) on the refinancing and the financing of the acquisition of Patina Group (“Patina”).

Founded in 1928, Erdo is a Dutch company with a leading position in the flat roofing and insulation area, as well as facade engineering and the lightning protection of new buildings and renovations.
