CMS Hasche Sigle advises Evans Analytical Group on acquisition of PTRL Group

13/04/2012

Frankfurt – Evans Analytical Group (EAG) has acquired PTRL Labor für Umwelt- und Pestizidchemie GmbH (PTRL Europe) of Ulm, Germany, and the legally independent company PTRL West, Inc. (USA). The leading laboratory network can thus add analytical services for agrochemical companies to its portfolio of service offerings for high-tech industries. The purchase price was not disclosed.

A CMS Hasche Sigle team led by partner Dr Heike Wagner advised EAG on all legal aspects of the cross-border transaction in relation to the acquisition of PTRL Europe and coordination with the acquisition of PTRL West.

EAG operates a leading international network of laboratories providing services for more than 5,500 clients in high-tech industries. The acquisition of PTRL enables EAG to enter the agrochemical market sector. EAG is majority owned by Odyssey Partners, a private equity firm with more than USD 2 billion in capital under management.

PTRL provides regulatory testing worldwide for leading international agrochemical companies and offers specialised services in analytical chemistry to assist in the required regulatory testing to bring new pesticides to market. The companies complement the Life Sciences Division of EAG.
