KG, Soest, in a management buy out (MBO) to the commercial manager, Stefan Lichte. Lichte, who has been employed at the company since 1982, will continue the restructuring measures initiated by INDUS for MABEG in a rigorous manner. In recent years, MABEG, a producer of signage systems and municipal furnishing started to post losses due to a strong decline in public-sector demand and fierce competition on price. In the 2003 financial year, the company generated sales of EUR 8.4 million. INDUS thus makes a further step in optimising its participation portfolio. Confidentiality was agreed on the level of the purchase price.
