Noerr advises SAF-HOLLAND on takeover bid for Swedish commercial vehicle supplier Haldex

Noerr is advising SAF-HOLLAND S.A. on its takeover bid for the listed Swedish Haldex Group. The Noerr team is led by the Frankfurt partners Dr. Holger Alfes and Dr. Stephan Schulz.

Haldex AB (publ) is a leading provider of brake systems and air suspension modules for commercial vehicles. The cash bid values the company at around €442 million. The proposed acquisition gives the SAF-HOLLAND Group the opportunity to establish an integrated group for commercial vehicle chassis components.

In late 2015, Noerr already advised SAF-HOLLAND on taking out a Promisory Notes Loan for €200 million and also assisted the client in other capital market transactions in the past.
