PREMIUM Equity Partners has successfully acquired a majority stake in color parts GmbH, a prominent provider of high-end coatings and surface finishes. This acquisition, announced on January 19, 2026, marks a significant step for color parts as it seeks to enhance its growth trajectory and expand its market presence.
The existing shareholders, including the managing directors and WMS Wachstumsfonds Mittelstand Sachsen, will continue their involvement in the company through a substantial re-investment. This collaborative approach is designed to facilitate color parts’ next phase of growth, which will focus on expanding its sales organization and increasing production capacity.
Founded in 2003, color parts GmbH has established itself as a leader in the luxury coatings segment, offering a wide range of services that include the finishing of designer bathroom fittings, premium switch systems, luxury writing instruments, and medical pens. The company operates state-of-the-art production facilities in Cunewalde and Kodersdorf, Saxony, and is known for its innovative capabilities and high-quality standards.
Christine Weiß, Partner at PREMIUM, commented on the acquisition, stating, “color parts stands out for its market-leading position in the luxury coating segment and its exceptional quality standards, with reject rates close to zero. We were particularly impressed by the company’s outstanding ability to develop customized coating solutions for complex parts, an expertise that is highly valued by customers.”
Operational leadership will remain with Managing Directors Thomas Hähnel and Meik Jeremies, who have successfully guided color parts through significant growth in recent years. Bernhard Rösner, former CEO of LAMY, will join as Chairman of the Advisory Board to support the company’s growth strategy.
The acquisition is expected to strengthen color parts’ market position, allowing for potential entry into new European markets and expansion into North American luxury segments. Additionally, the deal is anticipated to create synergies through enhanced production efficiency and improved research and development capabilities.
PREMIUM Equity Partners, founded in 2011, focuses on investing in niche companies within the DACH region, providing capital for growth financing and succession solutions. The investment in color parts represents PREMIUM’s twelfth acquisition, further solidifying its commitment to the luxury coatings market.
As color parts embarks on this new chapter, the company aims to diversify its end markets and enhance its product offerings, including the introduction of new special effects in coatings. The integration of PREMIUM’s resources and expertise is expected to drive significant value creation for both companies.
