Hoyer and VMS Group create Hoyer VMS Group

Case News
Hoyer Group, a global supplier of electric motors and automation solutions, majority owned by Capidea alongside co-owners Polaris and Motortramp, and VMS Group, a leading marine service provider, has announced the creation of Hoyer VMS Group. Plesner acted as lead legal counsel to Capidea and Hoyer Group on the transaction.

Founded in Denmark in 1974, Hoyer has built a strong global presence with production and distribution hubs in Europe and Asia, supplying OEMs and end users across shipping, HVAC, energy, and manufacturing industries.

VMS Group, headquartered in Frederikshavn, Denmark, has for more than two decades specialised in marine engine repair, overhaul, and propulsion services, operating service hubs across Europe, Africa, the Americas, and the Middle East.

The new Hoyer VMS Group combines Hoyer’s world-class motors, drives, and automation expertise with VMS Group’s comprehensive engine, service, and lifecycle capabilities to support shipowners and industrial operators worldwide and thereby become one of the most comprehensive MRO (Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul) companies in the world, delivering a unique global offering for power and motion solutions across marine and industrial markets – whether at sea or on land.

Plesner's core M&A team on the transaction was Henrik Rossing Lønberg, Anne Kathrine Horup Roug, Andreas Winther Madsen and Gustav Holm.
