Düsseldorf, June 21, 2021 – The technology and management consultancy INVENSITY GmbH has advised RSGB Advanced Manufacturing Technologies GmbH (RSGB AMT) as a portfolio company of RSBG SE on the acquisition of the medium-sized high-tech company Notions Systems GmbH from the company’s founders as well as other investors and conducted the commercial and technical due diligence.

The aim of this transaction is to continue RSBG AMT’s growth strategy.

Digital process development and after sales services complement the product portfolio.

Accordingly, the company uses a buy-and-build strategy to invest in successful medium-sized companies. RSBG SE, a wholly owned subsidiary of the RAG Foundation, invests primarily in companies whose products and services are highly relevant to global changes in the areas of population development, climate change and new technologies.

RSBG Advanced Manufacturing Technologies GmbH (RSBG AMT) is an investment company founded in 2019 and a wholly owned subsidiary of RSBG SE based in Essen.
