Dentons Advises PKD on Acquisition of Vollert Anlagenbau's Heavy Duty Solutions Business

"Dentons advised Czech industrial holding PKD (part of the JLF Group/Falbr family) on acquiring the Heavy Duty Solutions business from insolvent German engineering firm Vollert Anlagenbau GmbH. The deal, signed 1 December 2025 with closing expected January 2026, includes integration of the Weinsberg site and acquisition of 90% of Vollert do Brasil."

Dentons represented PKD, the Czech industrial holding that forms part of the JLF Group of the Falbr family, in its acquisition of the Heavy Duty Solutions business from insolvent German engineering company Vollert Anlagenbau GmbH; the sale was carried out by insolvency administrator Marc-Philippe Hornung. The sale of the Heavy Duty Solutions business — Vollert's largest business unit — is a central element of the insolvent company's broader restructuring. The transaction will enhance vertical integration of the Heavy Duty Solutions operations and integrate Vollert's Weinsberg site in the southern German state of Baden-Württemberg into PKD's international production network. The Vollert Heavy Duty Solutions business will continue to operate under its name and will be managed by family member Hans-Jörg Vollert. As part of the transaction, PKD will also acquire 90% of Brazilian subsidiary Vollert do Brasil to expand service and sales activities in South America. The transaction was signed on 1 December 2025. Closing is envisaged to take place in January 2026. Dentons represented PKD with a team composed by: Restructuring: Dr. Arne Friel (Lead Partner), Anja Moser (Counsel), Adriana Schumann (Counsel), Konrad Böning (Senior Associate), Christian Stracke (Associate); Corporate/M&A: Matthieu Emonet (Counsel); Employment: Dr. Markus Diepold (Partner), Isabelle Puhl (Partner), Matthias Stelzer (Counsel); Competition and Antitrust: Dr. Josef Hainz (Partner), Marie Laval (Associate); Real Estate: Jonas Ulmrich (Counsel); IP: Dr. Stefan Dittmer (Partner), Benjamin Lotz (Counsel); Data Protection: Dr. Christian Schefold (Partner), Lorenz Wascher (Counsel); Tax: Hauke Thieme (Partner).
