According to circles, the number of possible bidders continues to shrink when it comes to a possible takeover of the packaging manufacturer Gerresheimer.
The investment company KKR had left the consortium formed with the Warburg Pincus industry colleague, the Bloomberg news agency reported on Thursday, citing the matter. In mid-March, the agency reported that other interested parties had left the race for the provider of pharmaceutical and cosmetic packaging.
This would only mean Warburg Pincus as a person prospect. This continues to work on the possible business, Bloomberg continued on Thursday. The considerations stopped and there was no security that a transaction would occur. KKR and Warburg Pincus did not want to comment on the matter that Gerresheimer was initially unavailable.
There had always been speculation about the interests of financial investors in the past. A splitting of the group with its very different business areas is seen as an opportunity to increase values. The company produces glass products such as crucible and vials for the cosmetic industry, but also complex special glass and plastic packaging as well as systems for the administration of medication.
The reorganization of the container glass business in the course of the takeover of the Italian Bormioli Pharma Group, which was completed at the end of 2024, also ensures imagination. Here the integration runs into the Gerresheimer Group, which also checks the strategic options for the business area.
Investors accepted the news calmly. After a short drop in the price, it was almost back at the level before the circular report was released.
The Gerresheimer share temporarily loses 8.25 percent to 62.80 euros in Tradegate trading.
