KPMG Law Rechtsanwaltsgesellschaft mbH (KPMG Law) provided legal advice to the majority shareholder of Heimkreiter GmbH on the sale of its shareholding to PreZero Dritte Verwaltungs GmbH.
Heimkreiter operates as a specialist waste management company primarily in the southern German region and offers solutions for the disposal of waste and recyclable materials for industrial and commercial companies.
PreZero Dritte Verwaltungs GmbH, which acquired 100% of the shares in Heimkreiter GmbH as part of the acquisition, is part of the Schwarz Group, which also includes Lidl, Kaufland, Schwarz Produktion and Schwarz Digit. The Schwarz Group employs around 595,000 people worldwide in a total of 32 countries and generated total sales of 175.4 billion euros in the past financial year 2024.
Carsten Dülfer, CEO of PreZero Germany, comments on the takeover: “With the acquisition of Heimkreiter, we are consistently pursuing our growth strategy in Bavaria and strengthening our presence in the economically dynamic environment of the state capital Munich.”
Georg Egger, Managing Director of Heimkreiter GmbH, sees considerable opportunities for the further development of his company and its employees in the partnership. “The talks with PreZero were characterized by clear ideas and very constructive cooperation. I see the best long-term opportunities for the further development of my employees in particular with PreZero,” he explains.
As part of the project, KPMG Law provided comprehensive legal advice on the drafting and negotiation of the contract underlying the merger. KPMG AG Wirtschaftsprüfungsgesellschaft provided tax advice to the majority shareholder in connection with the company purchase agreement.
