pepperbill GmbH

Sep­tem­ber 2013: bm|t real­izes attrac­tive return with par­tial sale of its share­hold­ing in pep­per­bill GmbH.

pep­per­bill GmbH, one of the lead­ing providers of order and pay­ment man­age­ment sys­tems for the gas­tron­omy indus­try, has a new major­ity share­holder: Fabian and Ferry Heile­mann, who have pur­chased over 60% of the Erfurt tech start-up through their hold­ing com­pany Sky & Sand GmbH.

Mar­cel Mans­feld, Andreas Stein and Pro­fes­sor Dr. Volker Her­wig from Fach­hochschule Erfurt founded pep­per­bill in June 2012. Until today, the com­pany was financed by the founders, a busi­ness angel and bm|t beteili­gungs­man­age­ment thürin­gen GmbH.

With growth financ­ing from the Thüringer Grün­der­fonds, man­aged by bm|t, the tech­ni­cal devel­op­ment and the buildup of a sales team was accom­plished. Over the past year, the Erfurt team dou­bled to 12 employ­ees. Through the invest­ment from Sky & Sand and the planned build-out of the company’s capac­ity in Erfurt, this trans­ac­tion brings sus­tain­able and pos­i­tive ben­e­fits to Thuringia.

After only 12 months since the ini­tial invest­ment, bm|t sold the major­ity of its shares to Sky & Sand GmbH with an attrac­tive return on investment.
