Harris Williams Advises STAXS® on its Pending Sale to Franz Haniel & Cie. GmbH - Business Wire

FRANKFURT, Germany--()--Harris Williams, a global investment bank specializing in M&A advisory services, announces it is advising STAXS Contamination Control Experts (STAXS®), a portfolio company of Silverfleet Capital, on its pending sale to Franz Haniel & Cie. GmbH (Haniel). STAXS® is the leading value-add distributor of cleanroom consumables to the life science industry in the Benelux. With this acquisition, Haniel’s portfolio company CWS Cleanrooms further strengthens its position as the first full-service provider for cleanrooms in Europe.

The transaction is being led by Ed Arkus and Andreas Poth of the Harris Williams Consumer Group; Stephan Doering and Christopher Duerolf of the firm’s Healthcare & Life Sciences (HCLS) Group; and Graham Gillam of the firm’s Specialty Distribution Group.

“STAXS® is a critical link in the life science supply chain and has shown phenomenal growth in the past, being recognized across Europe as a leading value-add distributor of cleanroom consumables,” said Ed Arkus, a managing director at Harris Williams. “It has been a pleasure to work with the STAXS® team and we look forward to watching them expand STAXS®’ powerful platform in the Benelux and other geographies in partnership with Haniel.”

“By working across multiple industry groups and geographies, Harris Williams was able to deliver tailored strategic advice to STAXS® and help achieve the optimal outcome for all parties,” added Andreas Poth, a director at Harris Williams.

“We look forward to a bright future within the Haniel Group as we embark on our next stage of development,” said Johan-Detlef Dubbelboer, CEO of STAXS®. “Throughout the entire transaction, Harris Williams has been an excellent partner for us and has exceeded our expectations.”

STAXS® was founded in 1995 and operates from its facilities in Heerenveen, The Netherlands, and Niel, Belgium. The company is a leading value-added distributor of cleanroom consumables, including top-quality disinfectants, wipes, mops, gloves, and disposable garments from third-party suppliers as well under its own brand, DOTCH®. As a market leading contamination control expert, it has built an excellent reputation for quality and reliability. As a preferred partner for contamination control, the company has a strong and loyal customer base in the Netherlands, Belgium, and Germany and is expanding into other geographies. The vast majority of its customers are in the life sciences industry. STAXS® will be the Cleanroom Consumables platform within CWS Cleanroom and as such continue to service its customers as a separate company.
