CMS advised Halder on the acquisition of Newemag AG

The Frankfurt-based financial investor Halder has acquired Newemag AG. All parties involved have agreed not to disclose the details of the transaction.

Founded in 1975, Newemag AG ranks among the leading suppliers of machine tools in Switzerland with more than 400 customers in diverse markets. In addition to turning and milling machines, the product portfolio of Newemag AG also includes machining centres with the capability of 5-axis and simultaneous machining. The company has extensive technical and implementation knowhow and is well connected in the Swiss manufacturing industry.

By way of acquiring Newemag AG and together with Suvema AG, acquired in October 2019, Halder establishes the leading technology provider for tailored CNC machine tools in Switzerland. Combining the competencies of Suvema AG and Newemag AG within one group enables the joint exploitation of additional growth potential.

Halder is an experienced private equity investor active in the German-speaking region since 1991 supporting established businesses mainly in the sectors Industrial, Healthcare and Food & Beverage. Halder supports its portfolio companies on their journey to become market leader. Over the past 30 years, Halder has invested into 44 companies and solved 23 successions. Currently the Halder team manages 7 portfolio companies.

A team from CMS Switzerland, led by Stephan Werlen, advised Halder on all legal matters of the transaction. The Zurich and Frankfurt private equity and M&A teams with the partners Stephan Werlen and Oliver Wolfgramm advise Halder on a regular basis.
