BMH BRÄUTIGAM advises Raith on acquisition of 4PICO Litho

BMH BRÄUTIGAM has advised Raith, a portfolio company of capiton and the world's leading manufacturer of precision technology for nanofabrication, on the acquisition of all shares in 4PICO Litho.

Since 2004, the Dutch company 4PICO Litho has become a market leader in holographic and security printing and is the preferred supplier of laser beam lithography for submicron projects in the R&D market. With the acquisition of the market leader from near Eindhoven, Raith can expand its product portfolio to better serve the specific needs of its semiconductor customers worldwide.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 Background: The BMH BRÄUTIGAM team has been advising capiton for more than 20 years, including on the acquisition of the Raith Group from Hannover Finanz in 2016. Since then, we have been advising Raith on an ongoing basis and in particular on financing issues. With the add-on 4PICO Litho, the group acquires a complementary business area and thus significantly improves its positioning in the markets relevant to it.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        Team BMH BRÄUTIGAM: Dr. Andrea Reichert-Clauss, David Thüning (both Private Equity ǀ Corporate/M&A)
