Warburg Pincus, a pioneer among growth-oriented private equity investors, took on the role of majority shareholder in the uvex group. The Winter and Grau families remain on board with a minority stake and will continue to actively support the company's growth strategy.
This marks the beginning of a new chapter for the uvex group: Warburg Pincus not only brings capital to the table, but also international experience, in-depth industry insights and a strong network. Together, we are pursuing the goal of developing the uvex group into the global market leader for personal protective equipment – and making our brands' premium products accessible to even more people worldwide.
With its new partner at its side, the uvex group will accelerate its international growth, expand its premium range in a targeted manner and open up new business areas. Strategic acquisitions also remain an important lever for building on previous successes and reaching the next level of growth.
