T2Y Capital acquires a majority stake in ACKERMANN in Munich

The financing will be provided by NORD/LB. The company's existing management team will reinvest a significant stake alongside T2Y Capital, underscoring their conviction in ACKERMANN's growth trajectory.

Headquartered in Weinstadt (Germany), the testing specialist and system integrator combines deep high-voltage expertise with advanced automation know-how. Its team of more than 40 technicians and engineers serves blue-chip global cable component and energy infrastructure OEMs, with a consistent pattern of expanding from initial installations to long-term, multi-site partnerships.

This makes ACKERMANN a natural fit for T2Y Capital's focus on market-leading companies at critical nodes of the energy transition value chain and its portfolio of high-voltage and grid-infrastructure relevant companies, including Wetrax, Prime Batteries and Tretau.

T2Y Capital will help ACKERMANN scale operations, accelerating its profitable growth. T2Y Capital is a buyout and growth investor focused on the energy transition and adjacent industries.
