TonerPartner Group acquires Druckerpatronen.de
Hattingen / Iserlohn – Rivean Capital portfolio company TonerPartner Group (‘TonerPartner’), one of Europe’s leading online retailers of ink, toner and printer cartridges for a wide range of printers, announced that it has completed the acquisition of Druckerpatronen.de Office GmbH (‘Druckerpatronen.de’), a leading German online webshop for printer accessories based in Iserlohn, from the company’s founder.
Druckerpatronen.de is a specialist in the B2C segment with high web shop visibility and a differentiated strategy. With a comprehensive product range, the company serves a loyal customer base with predominantly high-quality, compatible products.
Following the strengthening of its market presence in France through the acquisition of SAS Rousselle.com (‘RousselleCom’) in 2021, the acquisition of Druckerpatronen.de represents the next important milestone in TonerPartner’s buy-and-build strategy under the ownership of Rivean Capital. The transaction will enable TonerPartner to further strengthen its market position in Germany, advance its European multi-shop strategy and diversify across a broad range of specific customer groups to meet demand in the European ink and toner markets.
As an experienced entrepreneur, the founder of Druckerpatronen.de and key employees will continue to support the combined group on its successful growth path.
Oliver Ahrens, former CEO of Cyan Group (TonerPartner up to 2025), comments: “Following acquisitions in Germany and France and our organic expansion across Europe, the acquisition of Druckerpatronen.de is the logical next step in advancing TonerPartner’s multi-shop strategy to build a European market leader. Both companies complement each other perfectly and have proven themselves in the past by reliably supplying their customers with high-quality products and competitive offers. Our combined customer base will benefit from a number of advantages, including a further improved logistics and IT organisation that combines the strengths of both companies.”
Andreas Klab, partner at Rivean Capital, comments: “With Druckerpatronen.de, we have been able to acquire one of the leading and most visible companies in the field of online printer accessories in Germany to further strengthen TonerPartner. The transaction is the second add-on acquisition since Rivean Capital joined TonerPartner in 2021. TonerPartner’s track record as a buy-and-build company is a testament to its success in highly specialised online retail markets that are fragmented and offer attractive M&A opportunities. Rivean Capital’s strength lies in identifying promising companies with strong business models and developing them further in partnership with the founders and management.”
