Binder Groesswang has advised Lafayette Mittelstand Capital on its acquisition of the elevator cable business from the Gebauer & Griller Group as part of a carve-out. DLA Piper advised Gebauer & Griller on the deal, which closed in early October.

Under the new name Geba Cables, it will support its global customers in implementing their growth targets in the coming years. The product portfolio ranges from conventional flat cables and designs with integrated data elements to specific solutions with fiber optic cables. In addition, customized just-in-sequence cable harnesses are made available to customers for each elevator system.”
