Strategic management decisions/Company
Lenzing (euro adhoc) - Lenzing AG has finalized the sale of its Business Unit
Plastics (Lenzing
Plastics GmbH). The closing of the transaction took place on June 27, 2013
following antitrust approval.
The buyer is an Austrian consortium led by Invest AG, the investment company of
the Raiffeisen Banking Group Upper Austria based in Linz. The acquisition
agreement regulating the transfer of 85% of the shares in Lenzing Plastics GmbH
to the consortium was already signed in April 2013. Lenzing's disposal of its
plastics operations was due to its decision to strategically focus on its core
business of manufacturing man-made cellulose fibers.
