CMS advises the Motorex-Bucher Group on the acquisition of a 50% stake in Motorex AG Langenthal, which specialises in industrial lubricants, from its former joint venture partner Fuchs Petrolub. Both companies have grown significantly, both nationally and internationally, over the past four decades. Both of them are grateful for the former partnership but intend to go separate ways in future.
A team from CMS Switzerland led by Stefan Brunnschweiler advised Motorex-Bucher on all legal matters of the transaction.
