Eschborn, March 14, 2025: Rödl provided the family-owned Mewa Group, a textile service provider operating across Europe, with comprehensive financial, legal, and tax advice regarding the acquisition of Bocholter Weberei-Vorwerk Siemen GmbH & Co. KG (Siemen). Siemen, a specialist in yarn finishing with production facilities in Germany, will largely continue to operate in its current form.

As part of this transaction, Mewa was advised by an interdisciplinary team from Rödl specializing in corporate transactions, led by Partner Felix Markowsky, who was also responsible for the Financial Due Diligence.
