International law firm Bird & Bird has advised Eulero Capital, a permanent capital investment platform from Italy, on behalf of its group company GMP, in its strategic acquisition of DIEWE Wheels GmbH.
GMP, backed by Eulero Capital, is renowned for its dominant position in the wheels and rims sector across Europe. The acquisition of DIEWE Wheels, a German-based company specialising in high-quality rims, aligns with GMP’s ambitious expansion strategy. By integrating DIEWE Wheels into its existing business portfolio, GMP enhances its capabilities to deliver innovative, cutting-edge wheel and tire solutions to a wider client base.
Under the umbrella of the DIEWE Group, DIEWE Wheels has established itself as an industry leader with a reputation for excellence, particularly in the DACH-region. Its merger into the GMP framework not only provides DIEWE Wheels with access to further resources and capital but also opens up new opportunities for both organisations to synergise operational expertise and broaden their respective footprints in the automotive sector.
