Berlin/Munich, 5 June 2025 - The international law firm ADVANT Beiten has advised the leading international provider of building materials and infrastructure solutions, Wienerberger AG, on the acquisition of all shares in MFP Sales Ltd. and significant assets of MFP Plastics Ltd. ADVANT Beiten was responsible for the regulatory issues and, in cooperation with the Irish law firm William Fry, successfully coordinated the filing with the Irish competition authority.
MFP is a major Irish supplier of pipe solutions which previously belonged to the Irish Grafton Group plc. In 2024, MFP generated sales of around EUR 25 million with drainage, gutter and cable protection systems. In future, their production will be bundled at the Wienerberger site in Cork to ensure greater efficiency and sustainability and to achieve attractive synergy effects. With this transaction, Wienerberger AG, which is listed on the Vienna Stock Exchange, is further pursuing its growth strategy and recognising the significant growth potential in the construction sector in Ireland.
ADVANT regularly advises Wienerberger AG, for instance on its largest acquisition in the company's history, the purchase of key business areas of the French Terreal Group last year.
Advisor to Wienerberger AG:
ADVANT Beiten: Uwe Wellmann (Berlin), Christoph Heinrich (Munich, both Antitrust Law).
