AEQUITA acquires Bosch's brake components business

In a significant move, the legal team at Noerr, under the leadership of Christoph Thiermann, has played a pivotal role in advising AEQUITA on the acquisition of the brake components business from Robert Bosch GmbH. The transaction encompasses Buderus Guss GmbH and Robert Bosch Lollar Guss GmbH, marking a strategic expansion for AEQUITA in the industrial sector.

The focal point of this acquisition is the specialised manufacturing of coated high-performance brake discs tailored for leading international Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs). With approximately 900 employees spread across three German sites, the acquired business is poised to reinforce AEQUITA's presence in the automotive industry.

This isn't the first collaboration between Noerr and AEQUITA.

This subsidiary, known for its expertise in private cloud and IT application services, boasts around 1,200 employees.

Prior to the recent deals, Thiermann guided AEQUITA through the acquisition of TMD Friction Group from its Japanese parent group Nisshinbo Holdings Inc., the takeover of IFA Group, and the acquisition of the electronic interfaces business from ZF Friedrichshafen AG.

AEQUITA, headquartered in Munich, is an industrial group with a focus on investing in special situations, including spin-offs, succession plans, and restructuring scenarios throughout Europe.
