Advised by Zerbach & Company Corporate Finance GmbH ("Z&C"), LUNOVU GmbH gains the support of a long-term-oriented partner in its shareholder base through the entry of the Aachen-based S-UBG Group.
LUNOVU was founded in 2013 in the environment of the Aachen Fraunhofer Institute for Laser Technology (ILT) and specialises in the development and commercialisation of intelligent, connected machines for the Laser Metal Deposition (LMD) process, a disruptive technology in the field of 3D metal printing.
LUNOVU uses a fully digital process chain for the manufacturing, repair and coating of components by means of the LMD process. The intelligent combination of measurement technology and data processing enables the direct measurement of unknown component geometries as well as automatic path planning and direct LMD machining. With the integrated software, users save significant effort in pre-processing. LUNOVU thereby possesses a strong unique selling point in its relevant market environment. The company is also able to integrate sensors into LMD systems according to customer requirements and thus offer a process-reliable and reproducible LMD process control. LUNOVU has already successfully installed numerous laser machine systems at its customers, in mid-sized industry, at multinational corporations and in research institutions.
Through the equity increase, LUNOVU intends to seize the enormous growth opportunities arising from the demand for additive manufacturing, which has been rising for years. As LUNOVU's exclusive corporate finance advisor, Z&C was able to find a suitable partner for the company within a short time and to bring the process to a successful close.
