Apera supports the refinancing of CSP, a portfolio company of EOS Partners

Apera Asset Management ("Apera"), a leading pan-European mid-market private debt investor, is delighted to announce the successful arrangement of bespoke debt facilities for the refinancing of CSP GmbH (“CSP” or the “Company”), a portfolio company of funds advised by EOS Partners GmbH ("EOS").

CSP is a leading provider of mission-critical IoT software solutions for high-volume, complex manufacturing industries, with a track record of over 20 years with blue chip customers. The Company’s solutions for shop-floor digitisation and automation generate enormous amounts of valuable production data. Through CSP’s software, these can be used to drive customers’ operational efficiency and product quality, enabling zero-error, real-time production, while complying with increasing regulation. EOS aims to further grow CSP’s solutions which become increasingly relevant for various sectors through the prevalence of Industry 4.0.

The joint efforts of Apera and EOS have yielded a bespoke financing solution tailored to the needs of CSP. The newly established Unitranche facility will help to further expand and solidify CSP's position in a highly promising market segment.

Aljoscha Icks, Senior Associate at EOS, said: "We are looking forward to working with Apera, who has structured a bespoke financing package for CSP, designed to back our shared growth ambitions in a highly attractive segment.”

Korbinian Hermann, CEO at CSP, added: "We greatly appreciate Apera’s swift execution and constructive, partnership-driven dialogue and we look forward to continuing our excellent cooperation."
