Hogan Lovells advises Cerralvo Capital on €50 million investment in Herchenbach

Germany-based Herchenbach and its subsidiaries are among the leading providers of lightweight buildings and modular construction concepts for companies from various sectors, including logistics and transport, industrial production and packaging, mechanical and plant engineering and energy. The company has already successfully realised over 5,000 infrastructure projects for its renowned international customers throughout Europe. With this investment, Search Fund Investor Cerralvo Capital supports the company’s further expansion and the development of sustainable and innovative building technologies.

The result of this competitive process underlines the attractiveness of Herchenbach's unique Warehouse-as-a-Service business model. The strong market perception among international investors reinforces the belief that significant additional value can be created in the coming years.

Hogan Lovells provided comprehensive advice to Cerralvo Capital on the structuring and negotiation of the investment – from legal due diligence to the drafting and review of investment and shareholder agreements, as well as advice on regulatory and corporate law matters.

As one of the leading law firms for long-term and sustainable infrastructure investments, Hogan Lovells has many years of experience in providing legal support to international investors and major projects in the infrastructure sector. On this basis, the team was able to develop a customised solution for this transaction.
