With more than 22,000 products in stock and sales of c. €30m (2017), the company is one of the Top-5 online food retailers in Germany. Deutsche Post AG was planning to either divest or enter into a strategic partnership with a trade and/or financial buyer. In the end Delticom AG (sales 2018 c. €650m) came out as the successful bidder in the process. Delticom AG is a major player in the German online food market covering multiple channels via their successful platforms, e.g. Gourmondo. de and Lebensmittel.de. Apart from that, Delticom is one of Europes largest online tire retailers (tirendo.de & reifen. de). Led by Jürgen Schwarz, the Capitalmind M&A Consumerteam conducted an international sounding with potential buyers, with a focus on strategic buyers (brick&mortar and online food retailers). Capitalmind identified and exchanged the “tailored” strategic synergies with each potential buyer and accompanied Deutsche Post AG throughout the sale process until signing/closing.
