Developments in the Dragoco/H&R Merger - The rise of Symrise

摘要

It has been some six months since the merger of Dragoco and Haarmann & Reimer was announced, following the sale of H&R by Bayer to EQT. There has been much happening on both a global and local basis. The Sale and disassociation of H&R from Bayer andthe subsequent merger with Dragoco (Horst-Otto Gerberding, the major shareholder in Dragoco, acquiring 22% of the new company), was a complex exercise with many legal and financial issues to be resolved. However, the companies are almost together in Australia.
