Munich, December 4, 2025 — McDermott Will & Schulte advised Hannover Finanz Group and the other shareholders on the sale of Lacon Group to Finland’s Incap Corporation.
The transaction is expected to close in the first quarter of 2026, pending customary approvals for foreign direct investments in Germany and Romania.
The Lacon Group, headquartered in Karlsfeld, is a leading EMS provider with over 700 employees across Germany and Romania. The group creates, optimizes, manufactures, and repairs electronic and electromechanical assemblies. Hannover Finanz had acquired a majority stake in Lacon in 2019.
Since 1979, the family-run Hannover Finanz Group has served as an equity partner to medium-sized companies in the DACH region. Its investment portfolio currently includes 35 companies with over 15,000 employees and sales revenues exceeding €4 billion.
Incap, headquartered in Helsinki, Finland, is a full-service provider of electronics manufacturing services. The company has offices in Finland, Estonia, India, Slovakia, the United Kingdom, the United States, and Hong Kong, and employs approx. 2,500 people. The acquisition is intended to accelerate Incap’s growth strategy by strengthening its position in defense, railway technology, and medical technology sectors, where Lacon Group has reputable customers.
The McDermott team under Holger Ebersberger most recently advised the Lacon Group on its acquisition of Montronic GmbH & Co. KG in 2024.
The McDermott team was led by partner Holger H. Ebersberger and counsel Thomas Diekmann, and comprised associate Tobias Thiemann and counsel Alexandra Prato, as well as partners Carina Kant and Florian Schiefer; and associates Nicole Kaps, Julia Külzer, Parsin Walsi and Max Küttner.
