24 prospective buyers for Thielert Motoren have signed confidentiality agreement.

Press Release received from Thielert: ‘The process of finding an investor is now moving to the next phase. Prof. Guenter Kappler has been appointed “Accountable Manager”. The 24 prospective buyers are mainly aircraft industry firms, plus some financial investors. Having signed confidentiality agreements, within the next few days the interested parties will be receiving detailed information on the current position of the company, on the basis of which they can begin with due diligence. The uncommonly large number of potential buyers shows that Thielert is seen as an attractive investment in the industry, though this comes as no surprise. After all, the Thielert engines are certified in 50 countries, and the Thielert infrastructure – a global network of 264 service centers and distribution partners – make it a considerable asset to potential investors. As Accountable Manager, Kappler is now solely responsible for aviation safety issues, including quality management in development, production, maintenance and training, and compliance with aviation regulations.'
