Warburg Pincus is on track to acquire a majority stake in Uvex, the German safety and sports equipment manufacturer, in a transaction valued at approximately €800m, according to sources cited by Bloomberg.

The deal is expected to close in the coming weeks and would mark one of the largest European consumer-focused private equity transactions of the year.

Uvex, a family-owned business headquartered in Fürth, Bavaria, is known for its ski helmets, protective eyewear, and a diversified product line spanning the industrial, healthcare, and sports sectors. The company boasts a strong European brand presence and is steadily gaining global traction through its direct-to-consumer strategy.

Warburg Pincus is expected to support Uvex’s international expansion and digital transformation initiatives, as it continues to invest in high-quality European assets with strong growth potential.

Neither Warburg Pincus nor Uvex has publicly commented on the deal.
