POELLATH advises Kerkhoff Group on sale to Interpath

Munich — The London-based consul­ting firm Inter­path, a port­fo­lio company of HIG Capi­tal, has acqui­red Kerkhoff Consul­ting GmbH (“Kerkhoff”), a manage­ment consul­tancy of the Kerkhoff Group specia­li­zing in purcha­sing and supply chain manage­ment. The parties have agreed not to disc­lose the finan­cial details.
