Jamco Corporation, a Bain Capital portfolio company and leading manufacturer of cabin interior equipment today announced that they have signed definitive documentation for the acquisition of Schüschke. The transaction is expected to close in February, 2026, subject to customary closing conditions.
Founded in 1986, Schüschke is an innovative supplier of advanced lavatory washbasins, countertops and customized cabin interior components for commercial aviation. Under the leadership of CEO Uta Peter, the company has strengthened its engineering and certification capabilities and achieved significant growth, enabling it to support global aircraft OEMs and major system integrators with tailored cabin and lavatory solutions.
Schüschke is based in Kirchentellinsfurt, Germany, and holds long-standing single-source supplier positions on most Airbus programs. Its solid-surface washbasins and integrated lavatory systems are recognized for their precision, material innovation and operational performance across major aircraft platforms.
As part of the transaction, Jamco Corporation will acquire 100% of Schüschke’s shares from a vehicle managed by Silver Investment Partners and other investors. Following the acquisition, Schüschke will continue operating as an independent company within Jamco’s global interiors platform, ensuring continuity for customers, leadership team and employees.
Kate Schaefer, Executive Chair of Jamco, stated, “This acquisition represents an important step in strengthening Jamco’s global interiors platform. Schüschke’s reputation for precision, certification discipline and reliability in lavatory systems aligns with our ambition to deliver best‑in‑class interior solutions. Combining Jamco’s global reach with Schüschke’s technical depth creates a stronger platform to support OEM and airline customers worldwide.”
Uta Peter, Managing Director of Schüschke, remarked, “Schüschke’s success has always been driven by our focus on technical excellence, quality craftsmanship, and long‑term partnerships with OEMs and system suppliers. Joining Jamco represents a major milestone for our company. With Jamco’s strategic support and broader platform, we can scale our capabilities and accelerate our contribution to next‑generation cabin interiors.”
Christoph Dubber, Managing Partner of Silver Investment Partners, stated, “Our investment in Schüschke has supported the company through transition from the founder-owned era, through the pandemic, and the current chapter of operational excellence and global expansion, led by its highly capable management team. This is a good example of SIP’s differentiated ability to support founder-owned Mittelstand companies. We are pleased to see Jamco’s investment in the company and commitment to support further growth through expansion of manufacturing capacity and employment in Germany.”
