DLA Piper has advised BEWi, one of the leading players in the Nordics for the development and production of insulation products and customized packaging solutions made from cellular plastic, EPS, on its acquisition of Ruukin EPS, a Finnish manufacturer of insulation material.

This transaction provides BEWi a stronger geographical presence in Finland and enables it to offer insulation material and packaging solutions in expanded polystyrene (EPS) as it does in the rest of the Nordics.

BEWi operates a successful insulation and packaging business in Sweden, Norway and Denmark. In the Finnish market, BEWi is well established with its production of cellular plastic, expanded polystyrene (EPS), and insulation products made of extruded polystyrene (XPS).

The DLA Piper team in Helsinki was led by Corporate partner Ilkka Liljeroos, supported by Tax counsel Jaakko Klemettilä, Corporate senior associate Josefin Strömberg and associates Antti Eeva and Eero Puranen.
