Elydan acquires Radpol Pipes with legal support from DZP

The France-based Elydan Group designs and manufactures polyethylene and polypropylene solutions for water, energy and telecommunications infrastructure, as well as for building applications. Its acquisition of Radpol Pipes, a Polish manufacturer of pre-insulated steel piping systems and polyethylene pipes for district heating, cooling, water supply, sewerage and gas distribution networks, broadens the Group’s portfolio and supports its continued international growth.

DZP’s advice covered the legal due diligence of Radpol Pipes, the preparation and negotiation of the share purchase agreement and other transaction documents, as well as support throughout the signing and closing process.

Jarosław Przybylski, Partner in the Corporate and M&A Practice, led the DZP team, supported by Zuzanna Popielarz, Associate.

The due diligence team also included Anna Okła-Woźniak, Partner, and Łukasz Mulczyk, Associate, from the Real Estate Practice; Joanna Wierzejska, Partner and Co-Head of the Tax Practice, alongside Tax Manager Joanna Ziemba; Klaudia Skubiszak, Associate in the environmental protection team; Katarzyna Zwierz-Wilkocka, Senior Associate in the Employment and Social Security Practice; and Michał Nita, Senior Associate in the IP&TMT Practice.

The acquisition was financed by a consortium of French banks, with DZP advising on the Polish aspects of the financing, including the creation and perfection of security interests over the acquired assets. Advice on these matters was provided by Katarzyna Biarda, Senior Associate and Grzegorz Mikołajczyk, Associate, under the supervision of Magdalena Skowrońska, Partner and Head of the Capital Markets and Financial Institutions Practice.

DZP advised the buyer on the Polish law aspects of the transaction, working alongside French law firm Requet Chabanel, which provided advice on French law matters.
