Gordon Brothers Partners with Maynards Europe to Sell the Assets of A-Kaiser GmbH

Gordon Brothers, the global advisory, restructuring and investment firm, in partnership with Maynards Europe has purchased the machinery and equipment of German manufacturer A-Kaiser GmbH from the company’s Insolvency Administrator.

Established in 1979, A-Kaiser specialised in the machining of lightweight aluminum components and ultra-lightweight magnesium parts for automotive manufacturers and Tier 1 suppliers of chassis components and electro-mobility.

More than 2,500 assets are available for sale via auction and private treaty. The assets from global brands like Grob, Mori Seiki, Okuma and Brother include multi-axis machining centres, multi-spindle automatic lathes, grinding, washing and associated tooling, inspection test equipment, Kuka and ABB robot automation, and factory furniture and utilities.
