Sell-side advisory

Zurich – Zurich – Alantra acted as exclusive financial advisor to the shareholders of Nüssli (Schweiz) AG (“NÜSSLI”), represented by Helvetica Capital, on the combination with eps Event Holding GmbH (“eps”).

The combination of eps and NÜSSLI will create a leading international provider of temporary event infrastructure, offering customers an integrated range of services from a single source – from turf and ground protection systems and crowd control to stages, grandstands and temporary stadiums. Both companies will continue to operate in the market under their established eps and NÜSSLI brands.

The transaction combines two complementary temporary event infrastructure platforms. Founded in Switzerland in 1941, NÜSSLI brings expertise in grandstands, stages, overlay and complex special structures, while eps, founded in 1996, adds capabilities in turf and ground protection, crowd control, visitor management and global touring logistics. Together, the group will employ approximately 820 people across 50 locations and deliver projects worldwide.

The shareholders of NÜSSLI were represented by Helvetica Capital, an independent Swiss investment firm focused on companies in Switzerland and neighboring regions.

This transaction further reinforces Alantra’s Swiss and Industrials advisory track record, following roles advising AURELIUS on its acquisition of Landis+Gyr’s EMEA metering business, Rieter on its acquisition of Barmag from OC Oerlikon, and Aebi Schmidt on its merger with The Shyft Group.
