Robert Frowein initiated and realized the Buy-out of SAM Electronics 2003, just before the beginning of a strong growth cycle in worldwide shipbuilding. Acquisition partnered by a Munich-based Private Equity Fund.
SAM management team successfully refocused the business model, building on a strong Cash-Flow position, increased revenues, profits and enhanced the enterprise value of SAM Electronics substantially in a rather short time – with active shareholder support from Robert Frowein.
In 2006 SAM performed a very successful strategic Exit, providing a multiple of 8 on the Equity invested to the shareholders.
