Koatek has entered a new partnership with Mentha, which has acquired a majority stake in the company. The partnership marks the beginning of the next phase of our development, as we strengthen our position in existing sectors and invest in increased capacity to meet growing demand.
Since our founding in Jægerspris in 1969, Koatek has specialised in highly complex, customer-specific mechanical components in small and medium-sized series. Our components are used in advanced equipment where precision, quality and reliability are critical—particularly within the medical, food and energy sectors. With a highly specialised workforce, best-in-class ESG and impact standards and fully integrated production, we have built strong, long-term collaborations with leading OEM customers.
Over the past seven years, Den Sociale Kapitalfond Invest, together with management and board members, has been part of the ownership group. During this period, Koatek has doubled in size and strengthened its ESG efforts, including its focus on social inclusion. As part of the transaction, Den Sociale Kapitalfond Invest is leaving the ownership group, while management is reinvesting and will continue as co-owners.
Koatek sees significant growth potential and looks forward to working with Mentha:
“The partnership with Mentha enables us to attract and retain talented employees, develop our core competences, continue to advance our ESG agenda and accelerate organic growth towards our strategic objectives.”
With a strong culture, a high level of professionalism and clear ambitions, Koatek is now entering the next chapter—with Mentha as a partner in our continued growth journey.
