Enstall Acquires Germany’s Schletter Group to Strengthen Global Solar Mounting Leadership

Enstall announced it has acquired Schletter Group (“Schletter”), a Germany-based provider of solar mounting systems. The financial terms of the transaction were not disclosed. Schletter’s current shareholders, Avenue Capital Group and Robus Capital, will become minority shareholders in Enstall to support the company’s long-term strategic ambitions, working closely with existing shareholders Blackstone and Rivean Capital.

Founded in 1968 and headquartered in Kirchdorf, Germany, Schletter is a global provider of solar mounting systems, having supplied over 55 GWp of solar installations worldwide.
This acquisition represents a significant step in Enstall’s growth strategy, following its purchase by Blackstone and Rivean Capital in 2022.

Stijn Vos, CEO of Enstall, said: “On behalf of the Enstall team, I would like to welcome all Schletter employees to the Enstall family. Schletter is the long-standing solar mounting champion of Germany, with a strong reputation for quality and innovation. We are looking forward to combining our expertise to achieve our shared vision of accelerating solar adoption to deliver solar, sooner.”

Florian Roos, CEO of Schletter, added: “Enstall shares our long-term commitment to sustainable solar energy for future generations. Everything we do is guided by our dedication to improving durability, safety, sustainability, and the quality of our solar mounting systems, in support of achieving a transition to green energy. The partnership with Enstall will strengthen the combined innovation capabilities, and enable us to serve our customers with a broader portfolio of products and digital solutions globally.”

Juergen Pinker, Senior Managing Director at Blackstone and Maurits Boomsma, Senior Partner at Rivean Capital, commented: “With this transformational acquisition, Enstall establishes a strong presence in Germany, Europe’s largest solar market, and expands into the attractive ground-mounted solar segment. Following Enstall’s acquisition of Sunfer in 2023, this deal demonstrates the continued strong momentum the company has in executing its growth strategy. We welcome Avenue Capital and Robus Capital as minority investors in Enstall, who have been long-standing supportive owners of Schletter.”
