ADVANT Beiten the Shareholders of Büter Group on the Sale of the Family Business to NPM Capital

Dusseldorf, 27 November 2025 – The international law firm ADVANT Beiten has provided comprehensive legal and tax advice to the shareholders of Büter Group, Josef Büter and Verena Büter-Pilz, on the sale of all shares to the Dutch holding and investment company NPM Capital. 

The Büter Group comprises German and Dutch (production) companies and is one of Europe's leading companies in the hydraulics industry. Founded in 1965, the family-owned company is headquartered in Emmen (NL) and has production facilities in Haren and Meppen (DE). It employs around 550 people. Over the past six decades, the family-owned company has developed numerous patents and utility models in cylinder and lifting technology and is now one of the technological market leaders in the industry.

NPM Capital, part of the family-owned SHV Group, is an investment partner based in the Benelux countries that focuses on long-term partnerships with family-owned and entrepreneurially managed companies. As part of the transaction, NPM Capital is acquiring the entire group of companies, including the two German subsidiaries Büter Hebetechnik GmbH and Büter Maschinenfabrik GmbH.

By joining forces with NPM Capital, Büter Group is well positioned to accelerate its growth strategy and continue to invest in technological innovation and international expansion. Under the new ownership, Büter Group will continue to operate independently.

Regarding the sale of the Dutch entities, the international law firm Houthoff acted on ADVANT Beiten's recommendation. Taurus Corporate was involved as an M&A advisor. The acquisition is still subject to the usual regulatory and antitrust approvals. The parties have agreed not to disclose the transaction volume. 

Advisors to the shareholders of Büter Group:
ADVANT Beiten: Dr Guido Krüger (Corporate Succession/Taxes), Prof Dr Hans-Josef Vogel (M&A, both lead partners), Julian Krause (Corporate Succession/M&A), Dr Magdalena Rindermann-Haugwitz (Corporate/M&A), Volker Küpper (Taxes), Thomas Herten (Real Estate), Dr Andreas Imping, Anna Kubitz (both Labour Law, all Dusseldorf), Christoph Heinrich (Antitrust Law, Munich) and Maximilian Steffen (Taxes, Hamburg).
