Noerr advises Sudarshan on the sale of VP4 to Celanese

01.09.2026

VP4 Frankfurt is engaged in the manufacture of certain intermediates, primarily as a tolling operator for Nutrinova, an affiliate of Celanese Corporation and Mitsui & Co. Japan. VP4 Frankfurt became part of Sudarshan through its acquisition of Heubach Chemicals and was earmarked for divestment. By exiting VP4, Sudarshan is strengthening its strategic focus and operational position.

With a team led by Till Kosche and Maurice Séché, Noerr had previously advised Sudarshan on the acquisition of the Heubach Group.
