The Clearwater team has advised the founder Peter Gschwend on his acquisition of a majority stake from Afinum in COTTA Collection AG, a leading European manufacturer of upholstered furniture.
COTTA Collection AG, headquartered in Bendern, Liechtenstein is the only manufacturer with a pan-European sales presence. With 14 ESG-compliant production facilities in Europe, COTTA Collection AG serves a loyal global customer base consisting of leading off- and online furniture retailers.
Peter Gschwend acquires Afinum's stake in COTTA Collection AG together with the long-term-oriented investment company L-GAM. With L-GAM, the ideal long-term-oriented partner has been found to support COTTA Collection AG in its next development phase.
L-GAM (United Kingdom) has the Princely House of Liechtenstein as its anchor investor, which means that there is also a regional connection between COTTA Collection AG and the investment company L-GAM.
