Luther advises leading Italian steel producer Marcegaglia

The sale of the machinery took place as part of the insolvency proceedings instituted against the Siegen-based pipe manufacturer Rudolf Flender. Due to the coronavirus pandemic, the closure of the traditional company could no longer be averted. The parties agreed not to disclose the purchase price.

Luther advised the company in collaboration with the Italian law firm LCA Studio Legale (Milan).
