    ADVANT Beiten Advises Laumann Group Especially on Antitrust Law Issues in Connection with the Acquisition of a Majority Share in Ponzio Polska

    Press Releases

    Munich, 20 April 2023 - The international law firm ADVANT Beiten has advised Laumann Group on the acquisition of a majority share in Ponzio Polska, headquartered in Plock, Poland, primarily on antitrust law issues. The transaction was completed successfully at the beginning of April. ADVANT Beiten centrally coordinated the merger control proceedings in Poland and Lithuania and advised on the share purchase agreement in cooperation with the Polish law firm JDP.

     

    For Laumann Group, the acquisition marks the entry into the aluminium segment. Ponzio will be positioned as an independent business unit within Laumann Group. The goal of this integration is for Laumann Group and Ponzio Polska to jointly continue Ponzio Polska's growth path in the existing markets and beyond.

     

    Ponzio Polska is a leading manufacturer of aluminium profile systems for the building industry with a strong footprint in Poland and other major European markets. The company employs over 300 people.

     

    Laumann Group, a family-owned group with headquarters in Sendenhorst in the Northwest of Germany, is a leading provider of building-related product solutions and IT-services. The company employs over 7,200 employees in over 50 locations on four continents with an annual revenue of approximately EUR 1.9bn.

     

    ADVANT Beiten had already advised Laumann Group on the acquisition of Vinylit Fassaden GmbH in 2021. Laumann Group also includes VEKA AG, a long-standing client of the law firm.

     

    Advisors to Laumann:

    ADVANT Beiten: Christoph Heinrich, Cathleen Laitenberger (both Antitrust Law, Munich), Dr Sebastian Weller, Nico Frielinghaus (both M&A/Corporate, Dusseldorf).

    Other advisors: JDP (Poland), Sorainen (Lithuania)
