FMA Mechatronic Solutions AG
Stefan Dürr, CEO and former sole shareholder of FMA Mechatronic Solutions AG: "25 years ago I acquired FMA as part of a management buyout. I have been developing the company ever since, striving to meet the high technical expectations set by our exacting clients and guaranteeing uncompromising, on-schedule reliability at all times. For my long-term succession planning I have mandated ZETRA with finding investors who would, on the one hand, ensure that FMA remain a dependable supplier for my longtime clients, and, on the other hand, help me elevate the company to the next level so it can continue to thrive in competitive market conditions. With Liberta Partners ZETRA has found an investor and partner that ticks all the right boxes. The path to this transaction has been challenging – but thanks to ZETRA’s unwavering professionalism, great entrepreneurial flair, and leadership, we never lost sight of the objective.

Telepool GmbH
Rudolf Matter, Direktor von Schweizer Radio und Fernsehen SRF und ehemaliger Aufsichtsratsvorsitzender der Telepool GmbH: "Der Verkauf der in der internationalen Vermarktung von Filmrechten tätigen Telepool-Gruppe war ein in manchen Belangen äusserst anspruchsvolles Vorhaben. In der Konstellation von drei öffentlich-rechtlichen Rundfunkanstalten in Deutschland (Bayerischer Rundfunk BR, Südwestrundfunk SWR und Mitteldeutscher Rundfunk MDR) und Schweizer Radio und Fernsehen SRF als Gesellschafter der privatrechtlich organisierten Telepool-Gruppe mit Standorten in Deutschland, der Schweiz und in den USA war der Koordinationsbedarf hoch. Im komplexen Prozess waren vielfältige unternehmerische Herausforderungen zu meistern und unterschiedlichste Interessen in Einklang zu bringen. ZETRA suchte weltweit nach potentiellen Investoren und nahm die Projektleiter- und Moderatorenrolle mit grosser Professionalität, Engagement, Initiative, Kreativität und Verhandlungsstärke wahr und erreichte immer einen Konsens. Mit zwei Hollywood-Ikonen, dem amerikanischen Schauspieler Will Smith und dem Schweizer James Bond Regisseur Marc Forster, wurden nach einer umfassenden Evaluation Investoren gefunden, die der Telepool-Gruppe und ihren Mitarbeitenden neue, spannende Perspektiven bieten. Ohne die professionelle Begleitung durch ZETRA wäre diese erfreuliche Lösung nicht möglich gewesen. Alle Beteiligten waren schliesslich hochzufrieden. Das Beraterteam von ZETRA kann ich vorbehaltlos empfehlen."
