 US private equity firms KKR and Goldman Sachs Capital Partners have sold their remaining shares in Wincor Nixdorf for €333.5m. The move follows Wincor Nixdorf's announcement that the company has started its new fiscal year with a strong first quarter.
Wincor Nixdorf provides IT solutions to retailers and retail banks. Its portfolio includes hardware, software, consulting services and system maintenance. Originally, Wincor Nixdorf emerged from part of Nixdorf Computer, which was acquired by Siemens. In 1999 KKR and GS Capital Partners backed a management buy-out of Wincor.
The Wincor Nixdorf IPO was one of only a few IPOs in Germany last year and probably the most successful one. Since Wincor Nixdorf's debut on the German stock market last May, shares have gained about 47 per cent.
