KKR to acquire German film production company Wiedemann & Berg Film.

KKR is set to acquire Germany-based Wiedemann & Berg Film, a leading film production company, which produced Oscar-winning film “The Lives of Others” and Oscar-nominated “Never Look Away". Financial terms were not disclosed. “We are very excited to successfully complete the first stage of our company development with Fred Kogel. Now, we will focus on combining the expertise and know-how of all four companies, Max’s & Quirin’s in particular, to create something truly innovative. Our goal has always been to build an entertainment house for audio-visual content, not just to buy individual companies,” Philipp Freise, KKR Member and Head of the European Technology, Media and Telecommunications Industry team.
