Dealsourcing 2021:
goetzpartners acted as exclusive M&A and Commercial Vendor Due Diligence advisor to Franz Haniel & Cie GmbH. This transaction underlines our competence in cross-border transactions and within the Recycling industry.
Haniel continues with its portfolio transformation and has signed a Share Purchase Agreement with Luxembourg-based Aperam S.A. to sell ELG Haniel GmbH. ELG will be acquired as a complete group and continue to operate as a fully separate company, serving its customers in their best interests. The transaction is subject to the customary regulatory approvals and is expected to close in the second half of 2021.
ELG, a specialist in trading, processing, and recycling raw materials for the stainless-steel industry as well as high-performance materials such as superalloys and titanium, has been part of the Haniel portfolio since 1983. In the past 40 years, the division has developed into a leading company in its sector. A sales process was initiated last year and ELG was already reported as a “discontinued operation” in the 2020 financial statements.
