MCF advised BLACKROLL AG on a management buy-out to KKA Partners

The shareholders of BLACKROLL AG (“BLACKROLL”), a leading company in the active and passive recovery space, has entered a new chapter in its growth journey. As part of a management buy-out (MBO), BLACKROLL has joined forces with private equity investor KKA Partners.

BLACKROLL AG was founded in 2013 as a niche provider of foam rolls for fascia training and quickly defined the market for active recovery. The company successfully expanded its offering into the passive recovery space through its innovative culture and exceptional branding. BLACKROLL has experienced significant growth over the last two years, making it one of the fastest-growing consumer brands in the DACH region.

Today, BLACKROLL is the leader in the recovery market offering a comprehensive product portfolio consisting of active recovery tools, digital courses, sleeping products, and more. With the support of KKA, BLACKROLL will continue this growth trajectory by enhancing its product and digital offering and entering further geographic markets.

MCF acted as the exclusive M&A advisor to the shareholders of BLACKROLL and supported the management in executing the deal throughout the entire process.
