BDO advises Beyond Capital Partners on its acquisition of ORENDT STUDIOS Holding
BDO has advised Beyond Capital Partners GmbH (‘BCP’) on the acquisition of a majority shareholding in tech-enabled Content Service Provider ORENDT STUDIOS Holding GmbH (‘ORENDT’), headquartered in Hamburg, via its Beyond Capital Partners Fund III, a fund advised by BCP.
A multidisciplinary team from BDO AG Wirtschaftsprüfungsgesellschaft has conducted Financial, Tax and ESG Due Diligence in this context.
For around 30 years, ORENDT has established a leading position as a technology-driven content producer for brand and retail companies with state-of-the-art expertise in artificial intelligence, computer-generated imagery, 3D visualizations and 3D scans, augmented & virtual reality and classic moving image and photo productions. ORENDT supplies national and international top brands from the luxury and lifestyle segment.
With around 250 employees, ORENDT services its customers both from the Hamburg-based head-quarter plus a total of nine on-premise locations worldwide as an elementary integrated partner and 360-degree workflow solution provider.
Beyond Capital Partners is an investment company advising its funds on the acquisition of majority shareholdings in profitable medium-sized companies in the DACH region with a focus on asset-light business models in the areas of B2B services, IT services, software, healthcare & well-being, lifestyle and entertainment. This operation benefits from support from the European Union under the InvestEU Fund.
Christoph D. Kauter, founder and Managing Partner of Beyond Capital Partners, says: “With the acquisition of a majority stake in ORENDT STUDIOS Group, we are ready to support the further expansion of the company jointly with founding shareholder and Managing Director of the firm, Torsten Orendt. In addition to further organic growth as part of the “land-and-expand” approach with ORENDT customers as well as through future, selective acquisitions of additional – above all technologically relevant – competitors as part of dedicated buy & build strategy, the aim is to build ORENDT into one of the leading tech-enabled service providers in the segment of digital solution agencies in Europe over the coming years.”
Christoph D. Kauter adds: “The BDO team are a trusted advisor to Beyond Capital Partners, supporting us on a number of previous transactions. The financial, tax and ESG due diligence teams worked efficiently and seamlessly together. They provided real value for us with insightful analyses and robust advice. We are very grateful for BDO’s ongoing support.”
