Global law firm White & Case LLP has advised Nordic Capital, a leading private equity investor in the Nordic region, and its portfolio company Luvata, on the sale of all operating divisions and facilities of the Luvata Group.

The sale was conducted as four separate transactions in 2016 and 2017, with the Special Products Division being sold to Mitsubishi Materials Corporation, the Heat Transfer Solutions Division to Modine Manfacturing Company, the Asian Tubes operations to Zhejiang Hailiang Co. Ltd and the North American Tubes operations to an investor group.

The group had a significant presence in industries such as renewable energy, power generation, automotive, medicine, air-conditioning, industrial refrigeration, and consumer products.

"We are delighted to have advised Nordic Capital on the entire life-span of this transaction, from the original acquisition in 2005 to the now completed exits" said partner Janko Lindros who led the White & Case team.

The M&A team which advised on the transaction was led by partner Janko Lindros in Helsinki, working together with partner Timo Airisto in Helsinki, partner Vivian Tsoi in Shanghai, partner Pontus Lindfelt in Brussels, and associates Essi Lavikkala, Alli Soralahti, Nika Larkimo, Heidi Blomqvist, Aatos Solhagen and Emma Nyyssola (all Helsinki), Jan Jeram (Brussels), and Siyuan Pan and Xiaofeng Gong (both Beijing).
