The EQT Mid Market fund (“EQT Mid Market”) today announced that it has reached an agreement to sell E.I.S. Aircraft Products & Services (“E.I.S. APS”), a German-based supplier of light-weight cabin interior products and services, to HannoverFinanz. 

Headquartered in Euskirchen, Germany, E.I.S. Aircraft is a well-established product and service provider in the aerospace industry. The company is a key supplier of light-weight cabin interior products, offering an array of composites and specialized thermoplastics solutions to the commercial aviation market. 

EQT acquired E.I.S. Aircraft in February 2015, at the time consisting of the airborne training services business E.I.S. Aircraft Aviation Operations (“E.I.S. AO”), and E.I.S. APS. During its ownership, EQT separated the two businesses, successfully selling E.I.S. AO in October 2018 after having more than doubled its EBITDA and supported the further development of E.I.S. APS by professionalizing the management structures and broadening its product offering and customer base.

The transaction is subject to approval from merger authorities and is expected to close during the fourth quarter of 2019. The parties have agreed to keep the transaction details undisclosed.
