With 150 employees split over two locations and more than 50 customers, Wiethe is the well-known e-commerce full-service provider and one-stop-shop fulfillment specialist for digital content for its customers, comprising global top tier brand names like adidas, Reebok, Hugo Boss, G Star, Stylebop, Deichmann and many more.
„Beyond Capital Partners convinced us with its professional appearance and its in-depth understanding of a continuously growing Mittelstand company like us. Jointly with the BCP team, we are eager to use the coming years to cement our already leading position in Germany and to expand the roll-out of our service portfolio for our existing and prospective new clients. Personally, I appreciated the top-level competence of Beyond as much as the confidential and individual share of thoughts on a same eye level, which underlines the basis for a trustfully, longstanding partnership“, states Markus Wiethe, founder and Managing Director of the company.
„Wiethe convinced us from minute one, showing its clearly defined focus on customer-centricity and the professional structures to accomplish this. Together with Markus Wiethe as founder and continuing managing director as well as with his entire team, we identified this opportunity for a strong organic growth story. In addition, we will significantly support the company through selective buy-and-build activities across the GSA region and Europe to grow the firm both in its established core area as well as in adjacent services into a new revenue and market share level“, says Christoph D.
