Industrials

The Industrials segment focuses on substance, succession and the transformation of medium-sized manufacturing companies.

Industrial SMEs in Germany and the DACH region are facing far-reaching changes: Succession planning, technological transformation and internationalisation are driving a growing number of M&A transactions. ROHDE BAIER advises entrepreneurs, investors and industrial groups on company sales, carve-outs and investment transactions across the entire industrials spectrum, from mechanical engineering and automotive supply to speciality chemicals, construction and infrastructure companies.
 
We are familiar with the complexity of industrial transactions: long-term customer contracts, operating licences and environmental issues, business transfers in accordance with Section 613a of the German Civil Code (BGB) and the hedging of warranty risks in capital-intensive business models.
Our clients are owner-managed industrial companies that are structuring a succession solution, private equity investors with an industrial focus and corporate groups that are streamlining or supplementing their portfolio via carve-outs or acquisitions. We accompany every transaction with the aim of not only delivering legally clean results, but also creating structures that do justice to the operational realities of the manufacturing industry.
 
ROHDE BAIER understands the language of industrial SMEs and has the M&A expertise that this sector deserves.
