We have advised Vihtan and its owners on the sale of the company to Swedish compounder investor Rebellion Capital. Founded in 2010 by Kimmo Haukilehto, Vihtan operates in the growing area of design, production and sale of glass products for various interior spaces in the renovation and new build markets. Vihtan is the domestic market leader in glass products such as walls, doors, and other dividers for bathrooms and saunas, and is quickly winning market share in glass products for dry indoor spaces in various end markets as well. The company’s success has been built on a differentiated business model and strong sourcing operations. In 2022 the company had sales of €12.4m and EBITDA of €2.4m. Rebellion is a Swedish-based compounder investor in small and medium-sized niche businesses in the infrastructure as well as industry & trade sectors.

Selling the company that you have founded and developed is most often a once-in-a-lifetime experience. It was very professional and fun to work with Clearwater, and I value your creativity in getting our transaction done. The outcome was very good for both the owners and the company. I can highly recommend Clearwater as an adviser for entrepreneurs thinking of selling their life work.
Kimmo Haukilehto, Vihtan CEO and founder

It is our pleasure to work with companies that have solid business models and fine-tuned operations - as well as these companies' founders. We are very pleased to be able to structure a transaction that is appreciated by the owners, and that also creates a strong foundation for continuing the company's impressive growth story.
