We are proud to have advised management on the MBO of the eyewear business of Materialise.
For over a decade, Materialise has been at the forefront of 3D-printed eyewear applications, having produced several hundred thousand frames for a wide range of eyewear brands and luxury names. Over the years, the business established itself as a key player in the sector, building strong partnerships with leading brands and delivering innovative customisation experiences to consumers.
The transaction is part of Materialise's strategy to sharpen its portfolio and concentrate capital and resources on its core focus areas. Following the management buy-out, the eyewear business will continue its activities as an independent company, allowing it to operate with greater focus and agility in its next phase of growth.
Materialise will retain a minority stake in the newly incorporated company, reflecting its continued confidence in the business.
Congratulations to all parties involved!
