A team of Gleiss Lutz lawyers has advised Netherlands technology group ASML on the divestment its subsidiary Berliner Glas Group's technical glass division to Swiss family-owned company Glas Trösch Group. The transaction includes companies in Schwäbisch Hall and Syrgenstein that are specialised in the production of display glass and touch assemblies. The divested companies will operate under the name of EuropTec in the future, the brand name under which the Glas Trösch Group bundles the entire technical glass division.
