Simmons & Simmons Advises Normec on Acquisition of Labor Friedle and GALAB Laboratories

Simmons & Simmons advised Normec on its acquisitions of Labor Friedle GmbH and GALAB Laboratories GmbH. Normec, a leading European provider of Testing, Inspection, Certification and Compliance (TICC) services, has acquired two established German analytical laboratories, Labor Friedle and GALAB Laboratories. The transactions form a significant element of Normec's European growth strategy and further consolidate its position in the German analytical testing market. The combined acquisitions create one of the largest independent analytical platforms in Germany and materially expand Normec's expertise in food and consumer goods testing. Both laboratories will initially continue to operate under their existing management teams and brand names while accessing the broader Normec network. Integration efforts will concentrate on knowledge sharing, harmonisation of analytical methods and cross-laboratory innovation to enhance customer value and accelerate growth, alongside commercial synergies attributable to the enlarged platform. Simmons & Simmons acted as legal counsel to Normec, advising on all aspects of the transactions, including due diligence and negotiation of the transaction documentation. The firm drew on its sector expertise in TICC and its record of advising on complex, multi-jurisdictional transactions in the life sciences and analytical services sectors. Simmons & Simmons represented client(s) Normec with a team composed by: Dr Fabian von Samson-Himmelstjerna, lead partner, corporate/M&A with sector expertise in TICC and life sciences/analytical services.
