Schindler Attorneys advised Waters Corporation on transformational combination with BD’s Biosciences & Diagnostic Solutions business

Schindler Attorneys advised Stonepeak, a leading alternative investment firm specializing in infrastructure and real assets, on its agreement to acquire an approximately 50% co-controlling stake in IFCO Group (“IFCO”), a leading global provider of reusable packaging solutions for fresh foods, from a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority (“ADIA”).

Following the transaction, Stonepeak and Triton, a leading European mid-market investment firm and existing shareholder in IFCO, will hold joint and equal ownership and governance of the company. The transaction is subject to customary regulatory approvals.

Founded in 1992, IFCO operates one of the world’s largest reusable packaging networks, with more than 400 million reusable packaging containers facilitating over 2.5 billion shipments of fresh produce and other perishable goods annually. The company operates approximately 140 service centers and serves more than 300 retailers and 18,000 growers across over 50 countries.

The investment is expected to support IFCO’s continued international growth, further strengthen its global logistics network and accelerate the development of sustainable and circular packaging solutions.
