CMS advises ElringKlinger on sale of two Group companies to CERTINA Group

Stuttgart, 08.10.2024 – ElringKlinger AG, an independent global supplier to the automotive industry, has sold its subsidiaries in Sevelen (CH) and Buford (USA) to the CERTINA Group. ElringKlinger’s plants in Sevelen and Buford manufacture shielding technology products for thermal and acoustic management in vehicles. The company generated revenue of approximately EUR 175 million at the two sites in 2023, with a combined headcount of around 650. This transaction is aimed at honing ElringKlinger’s corporate profile and focusing the product portfolio along the path mapped out as part of its transformation strategy. The CERTINA Group is a family-owned industrial holding company. This deal adds two strong companies to its High Temperature Solutions division. The transaction is still subject to approval from the merger control authorities. The parties agreed not to disclose further details.

A CMS team headed by lead partner Dr Christoph Lächler advised ElringKlinger AG on all legal aspects of the deal. The CMS team was supported by US law firm Barnes & Thornburg with regard to the US law aspects of the transaction.
