TEC Group Swiss continues its expansion

Niederer Kraft Frey advised TEC Group Swiss on the acquisition of Transcendance.

TEC Group Swiss – backed by Sienna Private Equity (“SPE”), a value-oriented mid-market European private equity fund that invested in TEC Group alongside its founder and CEO, Arnaud Faivre, in October 2025 – acquired Transcendance, a reference in the field of watchmaking decoration, having developed an expertise recognised by the most prestigious watch brands.

TEC Group Swiss is a leading supplier to the Swiss luxury watchmaking industry, manufacturing critical components for mechanical watch movements and partnering with major luxury watch brands.

Transcendance will continue to be managed by its current managers, who remain as shareholders alongside TEC Group.

With SPE’s support, TEC Group Swiss intends to accelerate its growth trajectory – both organically and through strategic acquisitions – to offer an ever-broader range of services to its clients.

This is already the second build-up acquisition since SPE’s investment, following the acquisition of AMC Technologies, a leading supplier of precision tools, in October 2025, on which NKF advised.

The NKF team was led by Corporate/M&A partner Jacques Bonvin, working with partner Andrea Wuerzner (Corporate/M&A), associate Boris Catzeflis (Corporate/M&A and Technology) and counsel Marc Vogelsang (Tax).
