The TEP Capital investment fund, backed by German entrepreneur Eckhardt Thomas, owner of Thomas Gruppe, has announced the acquisition of Domczar, one of Europe’s leading manufacturers of prefabricated bathrooms. The investment, which took place in June 2023, included a leveraged buyout of 100% of the company’s shares and is a significant step in the company’s succession. Domczar generates annual revenues of PLN 80 million, making this transaction a key element in the further development of both the company and the fund’s investment strategy.
