Sudarshan Chemicals announced in a press release that they are acquiring Heubach Group
a 200-year-old company and one of the largest pigment manufacturers in the world
*Source: Oct 11th, 2024 press release
with the stock hitting the upper circuit at 20% on Friday
there are a couple of questions that need to be answered in this deal: How are they going to fund it
most European acquisitions have had to navigate stringent labour laws
Let’s try to answer these and a few more in this post
Sudarshan Chemicals was started in 1952 with an initial focus on products like pigments
they shifted to focus solely on pigments and went on to become India’s largest pigment player
They also expanded their portfolio from organic and inorganic pigments to high-performance and cosmetic product ranges
all while maintaining a healthy balance sheet and return ratios
For those with a keen interest in how it all started
here’s an interesting recap of how Sudarshan made it big:
Heubach Group is a 200-year-old company based in Germany
It is one of the major players in the pigment industry
with a global presence of 17 production facilities across the United States
Heubach Germany has two Indian subsidiaries:
Both of these companies will become part of Sudarshan post-deal
which will improve Sudarshan’s consolidated revenues by around 20%
The going was good for the Heubach Group up until 2021, when they reached 1 Bn euros in revenue. In Jan 2022, Heubach and S.K. Capital bought Clariant’s Pigment business for about 850 Mn euros
things started to go south after the Russia-Ukraine war
There was a drop in demand in Europe and China
and high energy costs pushed up the cost of raw materials for Heubach
Leveraged balance sheet & rising interest rates made the situation worse
leading to financial distress and eventually affecting the solvency of the Heubach Group
The deal involves both cash & share swap
Sudarshan approx needs 2100 Cr for this transaction (1200 Cr for the deal + 900 Cr as working capital & other restructuring expenses)
the balance sheet size of Sudarshan Chemicals as of FY24 is 2346 Cr
Coming back: They are going the QIP route to partially fund this acquisition
But this brings in another problem for the management – low promoter holding
Sudarshan management currently owns only 30.5% of the company
Equity dilution at this point will further dilute their overall holding
When asked this question in the recent con call
the management clarified that some promoters in the past opted to discontinue being labeled as promoters while remaining as shareholders
They are confident that the promoters will continue to support the company if needed
Sudharshan’s FY24 revenue is at 2,500 Cr
we expect the Heubach Group to add an additional 6,000-7,000 Cr
Let’s conservatively estimate 5,000 Cr
as there could be some risks like old clients not coming back
That means we are looking at an estimated 8,000 Cr in revenue for the full year FY26
Margins will be under pressure for the initial 1-2 years due to the merger challenges
the management has guided EBITDA margins to be around 12-15%
If we estimate FY27 revenues at about 9,000 Cr
we are looking at an estimated EBITDA of around 900 Cr
which is a 3x jump from the current levels over three years
it seems like not everything is factored in
as the market is uncertain about the management’s execution capabilities
But it’s not going to be an easy ride for the management
big deals—especially overseas acquisitions—come with their own initial struggles
We have seen this with several examples in the past
It’s not always about the debt; it’s also about the management bandwidth
It’s definitely an uphill task for Sudharshan’s management
it will be commendable and could create significant value for shareholders over the next 3-5 years

Noerr advises Sudarshan Chemicals on Heubach Group Acquisition
German law firm Noerr has provided legal counsel to Sudarshan Chemical Industries Limited (SCIL)
an Indian supplier of chemical manufacturing pigments
regarding its acquisition of the Heubach Group
The advisory team from Noerr was led by employment partner Tillmann Hecht
along with M&A partners Till Kosche and Maurice Séché
and included attorneys from various offices within the firm
The finalized agreement will result in the merging of the two companies' portfolios and enhance their access to global markets
thereby reinforcing their existing presence in Europe
The acquisition is anticipated to be completed in early 2025
who will oversee the combined entity following the transaction
expressed his enthusiasm: “We are thrilled about this deal that unites two businesses poised to serve significant global markets

with Frankfurt remaining a key strategic location
SCIL is recognized for its agility and efficiency
and we intend to instill this culture throughout the merged organization to position it as one of the most customer-focused and profitable pigment companies.”

After nearly two years away from the XC start line
Mathieu van der Poel is dusting off the knobbies
The Dutch phenom is expected to race Bike the Rock on May 18
marking his return to mountain biking ahead of a packed summer that includes the Tour de France and the world championships in Switzerland
The race is part of the German MTB Bundesliga, not the UCI world cup, but Van der Poel’s appearance signals intent
He’s eyeing the 2025 world championship title and has already said he wants to be back at the Olympics in 2028
Van der Poel’s last mountain bike outing was in 2023
during a test event for the Paris Olympics
he’s added to his legacy with wins at Paris–Roubaix
Milan–San Remo and world titles across three cycling disciplines
he’s returning to his off-road roots — and doing it in classic MVDP fashion: all in
While his team Alpecin-Deceuninck hasn’t officially confirmed his start, the Bike the Rock organizers have gone public with the news and are billing it as a major return. And they’re not wrong.
A post shared by TNT Sports Cycling (@tntsportscycling)
The HC-category race in Heubach is known for drawing fast fields and rough terrain. It may not be part of the world cup, but it’s no Sunday cruise. Organizers say more big names from the XC scene are expected to show up, making the event a proper tune-up for the worlds in Valais, Switzerland, this September.
Van der Poel’s calendar isn’t slowing down either — before worlds, he’s also expected to line up at the 2025 Tour de France, once again pushing the limits of what’s possible across cycling’s biggest stages.
For Van der Poel, this isn’t just about checking fitness. He’s already won everything there is to win on skinny tires — and now, he’s clearly not done with mountain biking. With Olympic redemption on the mind and a full-circle moment back on dirt, Heubach might just be the start of something big.

German pigment maker Heubach GmbH has filed for insolvency following a failed attempt at a financial restructure
said in a statement released on Monday (22 April) that it had filed an application “for the opening of regular insolvency proceedings over its assets with the competent insolvency court in Braunschweig and
applied for the jurisdiction of the Braunschweig insolvency court as the group court for the German subgroup of the Heubach Group”
The court is expected to appoint an insolvency administrator to examine the possibility of continuing business operations and possible options for restructuring and/or selling the business in due course
The company said the move was reacting “to the threat of over-indebtedness in the context of rapidly changing financial markets of the past two years and the unsuccessful attempt of achieving a financial restructuring with all shareholders and lenders”
Respective Heubach companies are working to meet their obligations to employees
and suppliers within given financial possibilities and legal framework
