Global law firm Goodwin has advised AURELIUS Growth Investments (Wachstumskapital) (AWK) on the financing of the acquisition of Tec-Folien Allgäu GmbH (“TFA”). Based in Bad Grönenbach, Bavaria.
TFA produces rigid films from amorphous polyester (PET) and polyethylene and supplies the food industry. The company specializes in the production of composite films, monofilms and films made from renewable raw materials. It uses the most modern extrusion lines and applies a solvent-free adhesive system to ensure the highest quality and to comply with safety standards.
AWK is an investment company for SMEs based in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. This investment will provide the company with extensive entrepreneurial experience, help to accelerate the company's growth plans and leverage its operational potential. As partners to owners and entrepreneurs, AWK will actively support as needed and provide regular access to its network so the management can focus on the operational side of the business. AWK is backed by several entrepreneurs in Germany, Austria and Switzerland and therefore investments are made with a long-term partnership in mind rather than in line with time-bound fund terms.
Goodwin’s transaction team was led by partner Winfried M. Carli and associate Daniel Wagner and included transaction lawyer Rina Omura (all Private Equity/Finance, Munich) as well as associate Philipp Lauer (Tax, Munich).
