Benchmark International het suksesvol advies gelewer oor die transaksie tussen CLS Cleanaway Logistic Services GmbH en Eternity Systems / CAPZA.

January 9, 2026

Benchmark International is verheug om die verkryging van CLS Cleanaway Logistic Services GmbH deur Eternity Systems, gesteun deur die Franse private-ekwiteitsfirma CAPZA, aan te kondig.

CLS Cleanaway Logistic Services GmbH, gebaseer in Hamburg, is ’n toonaangewende maatskappy in die veld van intralogistiek. Die maatskappy is in 2018 deur Henning Hilmer gestig en spesialiseer in leëhouerbestuur en outomatiese sorteerstelsels vir bottels en kratte. CLS bied ook pakhuisdienste aan, soos mede-verpakking, die bou van uitstallings en heretikettering. Voortaan sal CLS die naam CLS – Circular Logistics Solutions aanneem.

Die regte transaksie begin met die regte span.

Eternity Systems, gebaseer in Frankryk, is ’n verskaffer wat regoor Europa en Noord-Amerika bedrywig is en sorteer-, skoonmaak- en herstel­dienste lewer vir herbruikbare plastiekhouers wat in die voedselbedryf gebruik word vir die verpakking en vervoer van vars produkte.

Met die verkryging van CLS beoog Eternity om voordeel te trek uit beduidende sinergieë en sy produkportefeulje op die gebied van bottelsortering uit te brei, met ’n fokus op groot drankvervaardigers in Duitsland. Die doel is om ’n onbetwisbare rolspeler in die sirkulêre-ekonomiebedryf te word.

Henning Hilmer, Besturende Direkteur van CLS Cleanaway Logistic Services GmbH, het die volgende oor die transaksie gesê:

"Ek is baie verlig om ’n strategiese vennoot in Eternity/CAPZA te gevind het wat my gelyke is en wat saam met my sal voortgaan om die maatskappy uit te bou. Ek wil graag almal bedank wat my deur die hele proses ondersteun het. My besondere dank gaan aan die Benchmark International-span.”

Gildas Bouilly, HUB van Eternity Systems, het die verkryging soos volg toegelig:

“Ons sien uit na die waardevolle samewerking met CLS en is trots daarop dat ons mnr. Hilmer, ’n suksesvolle bestuurder met diepgaande kundigheid, by ons gevoeg het.”
