Egeria acquires enwitec, a leading provider of photovoltaic connection components

enwitec, founded in 2014, has achieved significant self-funded growth over the last years and developed into a leading player for photovoltaic connection components in Germany and other European markets. The company is operating from Wurmannsquick (Bavaria), Germany and employs more than 70 employees.

The global energy transformation has led to strong tailwinds for the photovoltaic (PV) industry fueled by strong policy support, ambitious expansion targets and an increased attractiveness of self-sufficient energy production. enwitec will be able to capitalize on this development as the key provider of the relevant connection components in a growing number of battery-backed PV systems and contribute to an efficient expansion of this energy source. The investment by Egeria provides the company with the financial backing and operational support to enter a new growth phase as a leading provider of customized PV technology.

Hannes Rumer, Managing Partner DACH at Egeria in Munich: “We are impressed with enwitec’s development over recent years and management’s achievement on growing the company with a strong entrepreneurial spirit in this high-growth industry. Delivering a high-quality, innovative and reliable product proposition, enwitec has built long-term development partnerships with leading OEMs across Europe, positioning itself as a crucial partner for PV technology with deep product expertise. We look forward to partnering with Johann Wimmer and his team and supporting the management in achieving their ambitious growth plans, also leveraging our expertise in the renewable energy sector from our Isoplus investment.”

Johann Wimmer, enwitec Founder and CEO: “We are very excited to have Egeria on board as a new partner. Over time, we have developed this company into a sought-after partner for leading manufacturers in the PV industry and have established deep expertise for customized solutions in the niche of PV connection components. We welcome Egeria as the ideal partner for the next growth phase, especially given its expertise in the green energy space. Together with our trusting clients and business partners we want to unlock the great potentials that photovoltaics offers internationally in the coming years.”
