Reed Smith advises FTI on the takeover of tcam

Munich — The inter­na­tio­nal law firm Reed Smith has advi­sed the family trust inves­tor FTI GmbH (FTI) and its port­fo­lio company Novia Group on the acqui­si­tion of tcam GmbH. The full inte­gra­tion of tcam GmbH into the Novia Group as the future novia Engi­nee­ring GmbH took place on Janu­ary 1, 2025. The Novia Group is thus expan­ding its port­fo­lio and streng­thening its posi­tion as a leading provi­der in the field of global sourcing. With this acqui­si­tion, the Novia Group is secu­ring compre­hen­sive exper­tise in the opti­miza­tion of manu­fac­tu­ring proces­ses and the deve­lo­p­ment of effi­ci­ent produc­tion methods. In addi­tion, this acqui­si­tion will give it access to a strong network of Euro­pean supply chains and manu­fac­tu­ring part­ners as an important step towards diver­si­fy­ing and mini­mi­zing risks in global supply chains. With loca­ti­ons in Germany, Switz­er­land and Asia, the Novia Group is a relia­ble part­ner for custo­mers from sectors such as medi­cal tech­no­logy, indus­try, mobi­lity, solar, sani­tary and light­ing. The acqui­si­tion of tcam GmbH is a further mile­stone in the imple­men­ta­tion of the Novia Group’s buy & build stra­tegy and under­lines its commit­ment to achie­ving sustainable growth through targe­ted acquisitions.
