CMS Hasche Sigle advises CMP on acquisition of UKM Group

Berlin – CMP German Opportunity Fund II, which is advised by CMP Capital Management-Partners GmbH, has acquired 100% of the UKM Group. The long-established automotive supplier has some 350 employees in Germany and France. The purchase price was not disclosed.

A Franco-German CMS team advised CMP on the legal aspects of the acquisition.

CMP Capital Management-Partners GmbH specialises in investing in companies in turnaround situations or undergoing major change. CMP's commitment as the new shareholder of the UKM Group will enable it to leverage the automotive supplier's considerable growth potential over the medium term and develop the company. UKM produces components for high-pressure diesel injection systems, valve gears for truck engines, electric starter components and cold forming parts at its sites in Meißen and Hirschfeld (Saxony) and in Vieux Charmont (France).

CMS regularly advises CMP Capital Management-Partners GmbH on new investments by the CMP German Opportunity Fund II, which was launched last year. CMP was recently advised by CMS on the successful acquisition of the Customer Care Centre division of D+S europe GmbH.
CMP Capital Management-Partners GmbH is a longstanding client of CMS Hasche Sigle. The law firm advised CMP on the sale of several companies following successful restructuring by the predecessor fund. Particularly noteworthy are the sales of Schock, a kitchen unit manufacturer, Lloyd Dynamowerke and packaging producer Unterland.
