SüdBG advised by CMS on part-acquisition of EPSa GmbH

Leipzig – Stuttgart-based Süd Beteiligungen GmbH (SüdBG) and Ali Sahin, who was recently appointed CEO as part of a management buy-in, have jointly acquired EPSa-Elektronik und Präzisionsbau Saalfeld GmbH. SüdBG is a subsidiary of Landesbank Baden-Württemberg (LBBW). The transaction resolves the corporate succession issue for EPSa, a leading provider of telematics and communications services. The German Federal Cartel Office has already approved the transaction.
