MedTech Provider seleon GmbH Becomes Part of the aesco solutions Group – Successful Exit for Venture Capitalist D11Z. Ventures

"This exit is a great success for us," says Tom Villinger, CEO of the Heilbronn-based venture capitalist D11Z. Ventures. "seleon was one of our first investments with the former Zukunftsfonds Heilbronn, and we look back on an extremely positive investment phase."

In recent years, seleon has become a recognized player in the MedTech industry. Its integration into the aesco solutions group will enable it to further expand its range of services. Both companies are active in the so-called CDMO sector (Contract Development and Manufacturing Organization) and offer medical technology customers integrated services from development and prototyping to approval and series production.

"The strategic partnership opens up exciting new opportunities for seleon GmbH and enables us to offer our customers expanded services," explains Frank-Martin Rammelt, CEO of seleon GmbH. "We are confident that this synergy will further strengthen our ability to develop innovative solutions while continuing to provide excellent service to our customers."

The aesco solutions group already includes the brands SASSE Elektronik and FG Elektronik, two well-known names in the medical technology sector for decades. With the acquisition of further healthy medium-sized companies, aesco solutions is now developing into the growth platform in the life sciences sector of AURELIUS Growth Capital SE & Co. KG.

"We are delighted to welcome seleon to the aesco solutions group," says Peter Molnár, CEO of the aesco solutions group. "The acquisition is an important step in the implementation of our buy-and-build strategy to create a leading company in the European MedTech CDMO market. We will be able to offer our customers even more innovative and efficient solutions. Together we want to shape the future of the industry by combining application and technology innovation.

With the acquisition of seleon GmbH, medical device manufacturers can access an integrated offering from the aesco solutions group across the entire product lifecycle. The expansion of the service offering and the strengthening of the technological competence will eliminate the complex and costly interfaces between service providers in the areas of development, regulatory affairs, industrialisation, production and after-sales services. This will enable customers to bring their medical devices to market faster and more cost-effectively.

"We are convinced that the joining of forces within the aesco solutions group will open up additional growth potential for seleon," says Villinger, CEO of D11Z. Ventures. "The sale can create a real MedTech champion.

At the same time, the sale, which has been in the works for more than a year, fits in with the realignment of D11Z. Ventures. This year, the Heilbronn-based family office is focusing on promising investments in the field of artificial intelligence.
