GAF was intensively supported and advised throughout the entire process. Already at the beginning, an excellent and fast cooperation between all parties became apparent. In addition, the managing director Uwe Heinrich had already dealt with the upcoming succession in detail and prepared well. Thus, the necessary documents could be compiled quickly. During the search for a buyer, GAF turned out to be an attractive investment and within a very short time around 40 investors expressed their interest. In the time that followed, three potential buyers were shortlisted and finally one promising candidate was chosen. Thanks to the significant bidding competition, Mr. Heinrich had a good choice and was able to make his decision not only on professional aspects, but also on a personal and interpersonal level. From the beginning, the Company Owner expressed interest in a fast sales process, which finally succeeded: within only six months, the process could be completed entirely.

Thanks to the intensive support during the entire sales process, Uwe Heinrich succeeded in finding the suitable buyer who met the expectations of all parties involved, understands the company and will continue to run it satisfactorily. With regard to the purchase transaction, the Company Owner expressed its fullest satisfaction. Uwe Heinrich will assist the new operations manager of GAF in an advisory capacity until June 2022, when he will retire. He knows that his life's work and the future of all employees are in good hands thanks to the supportive advice.
