CMS advises the owners on the sale of TOLUS Group AG to Marubeni

TOLUS Group AG, together with its subsidiaries Suvema AG and Newemag AG, is one of the market leaders in Switzerland and Austria for high-quality machine tools—primarily from leading Japanese manufacturers—as well as expert technical consulting and reliable service.

Marubeni, a globally active Japanese trading and distribution group, is one of Japan’s largest integrated trading and investment firms. In the machine tool business, the focus is on global sales, engineering, and after-sales service for high-end machine tools.

With the strategic acquisition of TOLUS Group AG, Marubeni is sending a clear signal of its long-term commitment to the European machine tool market and is strengthening the TOLUS Group as a reliable partner for the industry in Switzerland and Austria.

The team consisted of Alexander Salamon (Associate), Maximilian Hauser (Associate) and Valérie Bussard (Trainee, all Corporate / M&A), Mark Cagienard (Partner, Tax), Olivia Zingg (Associate) and Ursina Bopp (Paralegal, both IP).
