Baker & McKenzie is advising Atlas Copco in connection with its acquisition of Henrob, a pioneer and market leader in self-pierce riveting, a mechanical fastening process. The company, which is privately owned, has around 400 employees and has its main facilities in the U.S. and the U.K. The acquisition is subject to applicable regulatory approvals.

“We are delighted to advise Atlas Copco on its acquisition of Henrob,” commented Baker & McKenzie Stockholm partner Mats Sacklén, who joined the Firm in 2013. He added, “One strategic aim of our Stockholm office is to provide real-time and sophisticated advice to clients in connection with their outbound international transactions, supported by the Firm’s depth of resource and extensive geographical reach. The Henrob transaction illustrates our capabilities in this regard.”

The Baker & McKenzie team was led by partners Mats Sacklén (Stockholm) and Ed West (Chicago). They were assisted by other lawyers and support staff from Baker & McKenzie offices in Chicago, London and Sydney.
