Helvetica Capital has acquired Statron AG in partnership with a consortium of Swiss entrepreneurial investors, securing a long-term succession plan for the global uninterruptible power supply (UPS) and battery storage specialist.

The transaction ensures Statron remains under Swiss ownership following the exit of majority shareholders Peter Limacher and Pius Rogger. The investment will support the company’s continued independent operation and its strategic growth ambitions.

“We are pleased that Statron remains under Swiss ownership and that we have found the right partners in Helvetica Capital,” said Limacher and Rogger in a joint statement.

Based in Mägenwil and Crissier, Statron develops and distributes UPS and battery energy storage systems (BESS) to clients in sectors such as energy, oil and gas, transportation, telecom, and infrastructure. The company employs 240 people globally across 10 entities, including 60 in Switzerland.

Ruben Vogelsang, who will remain as CEO, said, “We intend to further expand Statron AG’s leading position and the associated core technical competencies. With this step, we ensure continuity for our customers, employees and business partners.”

Giovanni Leonardi will serve as Chairman of the Board of Directors. “As future anchor investors, we stand for sustainable, independent development and are convinced that with our joint entrepreneurial commitment, we will continue Statron AG’s successful story,” he said.

The deal aligns with Helvetica Capital’s strategy of supporting Swiss SMEs through active operational and strategic engagement, particularly in succession and growth transitions.
