Global Garden Products is the largest manufacturer of lawn mowers and gardening equipment
in Europe. The company was formed following major add-on acquisitions completed
by the platform company Stiga since the initial investment in December 1999.
The acquisition was led by UBS Capital, one of the leading private equity
investors in Europe at the time.
Nordic Mezzanine acted as the Lead Arranger and the Facility Agent of the
mezzanine capital facility to finance the
acquisition of Stiga. Several investors of the Nordic Mezzanine Fund
co-invested with it in the project.
The investment in Global Garden Products was realised in December 2003 when
UBS Capital sold the company to ABN AMRO Capital in a secondary buyout.
