Successful advisory for Rhodius' WTS division during its acquisition by Muhr Group

Transaction

In July 2023, Rhodius GmbH and other companies in the Rhodius Group were forced to file for insolvency at the Ansbach Local Court. Together with the insolvency administrator, attorney Joachim Exner from the law firm Dr. Beck & Partner, and his team, they succeeded in stabilizing business operations and finding an investor for the Welding Technology Solution (WTS) division at one of the three German locations in Rostock.

The parties are keeping the details of the transaction confidential. The former operations manager of the Rhodius WTS division, Adam Grzesik, will continue to manage the company together with the new managing director Christopher Muhr and is optimistic about the future: “I am delighted that Rhodius WTS, as part of Muhr Metalltechnik, will be able to pursue its growth potential even more specifically in the future and thus expand the Rostock Laage Weitendorf site.”
With this strategic acquisition and integration, Muhr Metalltechnik is further expanding its Europe-wide presence as a Tier 1 supplier to the automotive industry, increasing its production capacities and expanding its own engineering organizations. Rhodius WTS is one of Europe's leading suppliers of lightweight frames for motorcycles, cars, rail, and aerospace.
