Baker McKenzie advised Syngroh Capital GmbH (Syngroh Capital) on the acquisition of the Kraft & Bauer Group and its financing. With this transaction, Syngroh Capital is further expanding its market position and consistently pursuing its growth strategy.

Syngroh Capital acts as a long-term oriented investment company that invests equity in medium-sized companies (DACH region) in order to develop companies sustainably.
