King & Wood Malle­sons (KWM) advi­sed Silbitz Group GmbH (Silbitz Group) on merger control aspects in connec­tion with the acqui­si­tion of the busi­ness of Eisen­gie­ße­rei Torge­low GmbH (EGT).

Eisen­gie­ße­rei Torge­low is a tradi­tio­nal company from Meck­­len­­burg-Vorpom­­mern, which has been active in the foundry indus­try for more than 260 years. With its access to the Baltic Sea, the company specia­li­zes in the produc­tion of highly complex castings for the offshore wind power industry.

With this acqui­si­tion, the Silbitz Group is expan­ding its product range in the field of rene­wa­ble ener­gies. The Silbitz Group is a group of compa­nies compri­sing various found­ries and a mecha­ni­cal proces­sor with head­quar­ters in Silbitz/Thuringia. The company, which is part of the port­fo­lio of listed Deut­sche Betei­li­gungs AG (DBAG), produ­ces castings for indus­tries such as the energy, mecha­ni­cal engi­nee­ring and trans­port sectors.
