JŠK provided legal advice to the owners of ALFA 3, s.r.o., a leading Czech manufacturer of industrial metal furniture and smart storage systems, in connection with the sale of a minority stake to the BHS Private Equity Fund.

For nearly 25 years, ALFA 3 has built its position as a leading developer, manufacturer and supplier of smart storage solutions for e-commerce, logistics, office spaces and industrial environments. The company also manufactures metal furniture, including locker and workshop cabinets, as well as charging cabinets for e-bikes and electronics.

ALFA 3 was owned by four shareholders, who will continue both as shareholders and as part of the company's management. This investment represents an important step in the company's growth strategy, aimed at expanding its presence in both the Czech and international markets, with a vision of becoming a recognised European leader that combines quality, innovation and design with sustainability.

BHS Private Equity Fund is an established Czech private equity fund, and Versute Investments a.s. is the investment and advisory company that manages it. The fund focuses primarily on small and medium-sized enterprises in the Czech Republic and Slovakia, and mainly partners with companies in traditional economic sectors.

The JŠK legal team was led by partner Tomáš Doležil, with significant support from senior associate Jan Koprnický in an executive role.

"The completion of this transaction was a strategically important step for us," said Jiří Zelený, co-owner of ALFA 3. "We greatly appreciate not only the high professionalism and experience of the JŠK team, but also their ability to build trust and a partnership-based relationship throughout the process. This approach was key to the successful course of the transaction."

"Every project has its story — and this one is now opening a new chapter," said Tomáš Doležil. "As advisers to the existing shareholders, we are pleased to have contributed to a transaction that brings a strong investor to ALFA 3. We believe that this partnership will enable the faster realisation of ambitious plans and further strengthen the company's market position."

Transactional advisory services to the sellers were provided by Lubomír Dugovič and Jan Slabý of ECOVIS Corporate Finance CZ s.r.o.
