CMS advises Mutares on exit of the inTime Group

Munich – inTime Group GmbH, a wholly-owned portfolio company of Mutares SE & Co. KGaA, has sold its interest in LiBCycle and then sold its interests in the other companies of the inTime Group as part of a complete exit. 

The sale of the majority stake in LiBCycle GmbH to the Reverse Logistics Group was completed back in January 2026. The founders will retain a 49 per cent interest and will continue to develop the company in partnership with the buyer. LiBCycle offers a comprehensive solution for the logistics of defective lithium-ion batteries.

With the sale of the remaining interests in inTime Group GmbH – including inTime Express Logistik GmbH and other companies with their registered offices in Germany, Sweden, Poland, Romania and Hungary – to the Tawin Holdings Group, Mutares completes its exit from the inTime Group. The transaction has already been completed, with the exception of the disposal of the interest in the Romanian subsidiary, which is set to take place in the third quarter of 2026. The inTime Group is an international provider of time-critical logistics services.

A CMS team jointly led by Dr Michael Wangemann and Anna-Lena Lill provided Mutares with legal advice on all aspects of the successful exit. Mutares is a long-standing client and had already engaged CMS for the acquisition of the inTime Group in the summer of 2025.

Mutares focuses on the acquisition of parts of large corporations and medium-sized companies in transitional situations. The aim is to leverage the development potential of the usually low-earning target companies within the framework of an active turnaround process and to lead them onto a stable and profitable growth path.
