What is Enterprise Value (EV)?

Enterprise Value (EV) is a measure of a company's total value, often used as a more comprehensive alternative to equity market capitalization. EV includes in its calculation the market capitalization of a company but also short-term and long-term debt as well as any cash on the company's balance sheet.

What is the EV/EBITDA multiple and why is it used?

The EV/EBITDA multiple is a financial ratio that compares a company's Enterprise Value (EV) to its Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization (EBITDA). It is widely used in M&A and valuation because it allows for comparisons between companies with different capital structures and provides a clear view of operational profitability.

HOLWEG WEBER acquired by AMBIENTA

UNITED STATES Industrial Equipment / Special Machinery / Robotics & Automation REV 50M - 100M EUR

Context

Ambienta SGR SpA has completed the acquisition of HolwegWeber and will integrate the company with its existing platform In.Pack Machinery, forming a combined entity that operates across three continents. HolwegWeber was previously owned by Motion Equity Partners, while In.Pack Machinery is held by Ambienta in partnership with its management team; the transaction is financed through a unitranche facility provided by LGT. The rationale for the transaction rests on the complementary nature of the two product lines: HolwegWeber supplies machines focused on paper and cellulose, whereas In.Pack delivers equipment for recycled and compostable polymers. By uniting these capabilities, the combined group can offer a full spectrum of sustainable flexible‑packaging machinery, extend its geographic footprint, and leverage shared research and development resources to accelerate innovation in response to regulatory pressures against single‑use plastics. Operationally, the merged organization will manage seven production sites, employ roughly 400 staff, support a installed base of more than 9,000 machines and will generate 130 M€ of turnover. Expected outcomes include cost reductions through consolidated procurement, streamlined engineering processes, and a stronger market presence in food, e‑commerce, and medical packaging segments, thereby enhancing the group’s ability to meet growing demand for environmentally responsible packaging solutions.

In the past, the company had already been the subject of several LBOs, notably led by Azulis Capital in 2012 and Motion Equity Partners in 2018. These multiple LBO cycles illustrate the strong appeal for this type of asset.

HOLWEG WEBER, which reported an EBITDA margin of LOGIN in 2023, is valued in this transaction at an EV/EBITDA multiple of LOGIN, a level to compare with the average currently observed in the Industry & Manufacturing sector (11.2x).
