Puratos buys Diamant from Werhahn Group

In conjunction with the Austrian law firm Binder Grösswang and the Czech Kinstellar, we have advised the Belgian Puratos Group NV on the purchase of 100% of shares in Diamant Polska sp. z o.o., a leading manufacturer of bakery ingredients in Austria with a strong market position in Poland and the Czech Republic too.

Our advice, provided by a team led by Bartosz Marcinkowski and Przemysław Furmaga from our Corporate and M&A Practice, involved a legal due diligence of Diamant and preparation of the transaction documentation in all Polish law aspects.

The Diamant purchase will enable Puratos Group to increase its presence on the Austrian market and primarily to strengthen its position in Central and Eastern Europe, particularly with the support of the Innovation Centre in Wels.
