LPA-CGR avocats advised Mutares on a binding offer for the acquisition of Sealynx International from GMD Group<\/h2>\n

Mutares SE & Co. KGaA (ISIN: DE000A2NB650) and the GMD Group have entered into exclusive negotiations for the acquisition of Sealynx International which has production sites in France, Morocco, Romania and a joint-venture in Algeria. Provided that all necessary consents are obtained and consultations completed, in particular the information and consultation process with the staff representatives of Sealynx International, the transaction is expected to close in Q1 2022.<\/p>\n

Sealynx International is an important manufacturer and supplier of high-quality car static and dynamic sealings, with a competitive position in the market and an established business relationship with European OEMs. The company generated revenues of approx. EUR 65 million in 2020 and employs over 700 people with recognized know-how.<\/p>\n

The combination of Sealynx International together with Mutares\u2019 portfolio SFC Solutions Group will create an important player for automotive sealings in Europe, serving a complementary customer base with a broad product range. The company is headquartered and has production facilities in Charleval (France), and two additional plants at immediate proximity of Tier-1 production sites in Morocco and Romania. Its industrial footprint will be a key lever to the competitiveness of the combined groups.<\/p>\n
