HLE Glascoat's wholly owned step-down subsidiary, HLE Surface Technologies GmbH (Germany), has agreed to acquire specific assets of Omeras GmbH and 100% shares of its subsidiary Omerastore GmbH, both based in Lauter-Bernsbach, Germany. The deal is for a cash consideration of Euro 2.75 million and was signed on 13 August 2025. Omeras specializes in glass-lined panels, tanks, architectural facades, and biogas digestion tanks, with Omerastore's 2024 revenue at Euro 10.9 million and Omeras' consolidated 2024 revenue at Euro 21.86 million. Omeras is currently under insolvency proceedings (court order dated 1 May 2025), and the deal has been approved by its creditors' committee and insolvency monitor. The acquisition aims to strengthen HLE Glascoat's presence in Germany and expand into new markets like storage tanks, architectural panels, and biogas tanks.
This is a strategic, tuck-in acquisition that gives HLE Glascoat a European manufacturing base and entry into adjacent product lines like architectural facades and storage tanks, potentially diversifying revenue beyond its core chemical process equipment business. The Euro 2.75 million price for assets generating around Euro 21 million in revenue appears attractively valued, though Omeras' insolvency and recent losses (Euro 461k loss in 2024) signal execution risk.
