About Alukon

At the time of disposal, Alukon was one of the leading producers of aluminium profiles for roller shutters, rolling gates and shutter systems. The target customers were independent regional shutter installers as well as wholesale dealers.

The strategy

Based on a strong position in the German market, the management team was able to systematically expand into other European countries during the investment period of the GEP II fund. The main driver was the successful entry into the French market realised through the establishment of its own local distribution. In 2004, the company was sold to the financial investor AXA Private Equity.
