Our team advised on the Luxembourg, Belgian and Dutch corporate aspects of the acquisition, drawing on our cross-border expertise.

As part of the transaction, EQT is partnering with two German family offices, Athos and Merckle, which will co-invest alongside EQT.

DESOTEC operates the world’s largest fleet of mobile reactivated carbon filters, serving more than 2,000 customers across Europe and North America. EQT intends to support DESOTEC’s continued growth in Europe, where significant opportunities remain in less penetrated markets, and to accelerate its expansion in North America, where the company established operations in 2023.

This matter highlights our experience supporting leading global private equity investors on complex cross-border acquisitions.

EQT is a purpose-driven global investment organisation focused on active ownership strategies.
