Clifford Chance advises Enstall on the acquisition of Schletter

Global law firm Clifford Chance has advised Enstall, a global leader in rooftop solar mounting solutions, on the acquisition of Schletter Group (“Schletter”), a Germany-based provider of solar mounting systems. 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 in close partnership with existing shareholders Blackstone and Rivean Capital.

The transaction will strengthen Enstall’s footprint in Germany and Central Europe, and establish Enstall as the one-stop-shop global solar mounting powerhouse, with a product portfolio covering both rooftop and ground-mount segments.

The transaction is expected to close in the second half of 2024 or early 2025, subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory approvals. Read more about the transaction here and here.
