RENOLIT and RKW: Reorganisation of the ownership structure complete

Upon completion of the reorganisation, the Fischer and Lang/Helms family members acquired all the shares in JM Holding GmbH and therefore also in RENOLIT SE, while the Müller and de Alvear family members received 100% of the shares in RKW SE. As expected, the necessary approval for the reorganisation by the corresponding anti-trust commissions turned out positive.

“We are happy that we have set RENOLIT SE on this important course and completed the generation change for its owners, thereby securing the long-term development of the company within the ownership of the family,” commented Anja Fischer, Christiane Helms and Andreas Lang as the representatives for both shareholder families.

“We are convinced that the new ownership structure offers the best conditions for RKW to take the next steps in its development,” says Hansjakob Müller on behalf of RKW’s shareholder families.

Further details of the transaction, particularly the adjustment value amount, have not been disclosed.
