Led by partner Michael Rose, global law firm Hogan Lovells has advised AMG Critical Materials N.V. (“AMG”) on the sale of Graphit Kropfmühl GmbH to a subsidiary of Asbury Carbons, Inc.
The transaction unites two market leaders in carbon solutions. With the sale of Graphit Kropfmühl GmbH, AMG completes its exit from the natural graphite business. In spring, AMG repurchased a 40% minority stake in Graphit Kropfmühl GmbH.
The completion of the transaction is still subject to customary closing conditions.
Graphit Kropfmühl GmbH extracts and refines natural graphite, processes and refines synthetic graphite, and produces dispersions, pastes and lubricant premixes in powder form. The company operates its own mine at its headquarters in Kropfmühl, Germany, and holds majority stake-holdings in graphite mines in Sri Lanka. Since 2008, the company has been part of AMG.
