Barfer's Wellfood acquires key assets of LiCo Heimtiernahrung

LiCo Heimtiernahrung GmbH has made a name for itself as a manufacturer of premium pet food with innovative products for dogs and cats. The company addressed the increasing demand for natural and healthy pet food through its focus on quality, sustainability and modern manufacturing processes.

After the management filed for insolvency on September 5, 2024 at the Essen Local Court, a structured M&A process was initiated under the direction of insolvency administrator Georg Kreplin of KKN Rechtsanwälte PartG mbB. CVM Capital Value Management GmbH was exclusively mandated to find a sustainable solution for the company's assets.

The CVM team took over the complete coordination of the M&A process and supported the alignment of all interests. Thanks to the successful cooperation with all parties involved, it was possible to transfer the main assets of LiCo to Barfer's Wellfood GmbH despite the challenging initial situation. This strategic acquisition enables the further development of the acquired assets and secures their long-term market presence.

Team CVM: Kai Peppmeier (Managing Partner), Benjamin Ruiz (Project Manager), Chin Jong Swee (Senior Consultant)
