goetzpartners advised Afinum 9 with a Commercial Due Diligence on its investment in Hofstetter PCB AG (Hofstetter), the leading European provider of printed circuit boards plating and special final finishing services. Together with its prior investment in GS Swiss, Afinum hereby extends its stronghold in the growing electronic medical device supplier market.
