Successful advisory for Abele during its acquisition by seele
SGP Corporate Finance successfully advised insolvency administrator Georg Stemshorn of PLUTA Rechtsanwalts GmbH in the M&A process involving Abele Ingenieure GmbH (“Abele Ingenieure”).
Transaction
The final bid was given to the strategic buyer seele holding GmbH (“seele”) from Augsburg. Within a few weeks, we were able to transfer the company to new owners and find a promising solution for the future. Around 50 jobs will be retained as part of the asset deal involving Abele Ingenieure. seele will expand its “Automation” division with Abele Automation GmbH & Co. KG and expects strong synergies in the growth market for movable facade systems.
“The successful implementation of this transaction is a significant step and creates a solid foundation for the future of Abele. We are pleased that we have succeeded in implementing a sustainable solution that not only makes economic sense but also offers long-term potential for the business,” said insolvency administrator Georg Stemshorn of PLUTA.
About Abele Ingenieure GmbH
Abele Ingenieure was founded in 1973 and can therefore look back on over 50 years of experience as a solution provider in mechanical and plant engineering. As a full-service provider, Abele can offer everything from a single source, from the initial idea to implementation and 24/7 service. The company has a production site in the north and an engineering office in the east of Augsburg. In the wake of the Ukraine conflict and the industrial recession that followed in some areas, various projects were not approved by customers and therefore did not go ahead. As a result, the Augsburg District Court ordered provisional insolvency administration on February 13, 2025.

seele holding GmbH, based in Gersthofen near Augsburg, is the parent company of the seele Group, a leading international supplier of sophisticated facade and glass constructions. The core competencies of the seele Group include the development, planning, manufacture, and installation of complex façade solutions made of glass, steel, aluminum, and membrane materials for architecturally outstanding projects. seele is particularly well known for its technically and creatively innovative solutions for large-scale projects such as Apple Stores, the Elbphilharmonie concert hall, and the Allianz Arena.
