Rödl & Partner advises Hörmann on the acquisition of Fen-Bay Group in the UK

Rödl & Partner advised Hörmann, Europe’s leading door supplier, on the acquisition of the British Fen-Bay Group. The Fen-Bay Group consists of Fen-Bay Services, a leading provider for the installation and maintenance of construction elements on the British market, and the company TransDek, which produces and sells loading bay technology.

"We want to use this transaction to expand our position in the British market and further enhance the service we provide to our customers," says Christoph Hörmann, Managing Partner of the Hörmann Group. Rödl & Partner’s longstanding expertise as an advisor to national and international family-run global market leaders meets Hörmann’s requirements and wishes.

As part of the advisory services, Hörmann was supported by a specialised, cross-disciplinary and international transaction team from Rödl & Partner in legal, tax and financial transaction issues. Partner Dr. Oliver Schmitt (Munich) and Partner Jan Eberhardt (Birmingham, UK) provided comprehensive legal (purchase) contract drafting and negotiation support from the initial discussions to the signing of the contract. The financial and industry-specific support was led by partner Isabelle Pernegger and the tax support by partner Anna Luce (Nuremberg).
