Advising Kartesia on the acquisition of International Cookware

De Pardieu Brocas Maffei has advised Kartesia on the acquisition of 100% of the share capital of International Cookware Group and its subsidiaries alongside its management team, from Aurora Resurgence.

Kartesia is providing the entire unitranche financing as well as the majority of the equity and will therefore become the new reference shareholder of The Group.

The Group designs, manufactures and distributes cookware equipment, primarily made of borosilicate glass, which offers superior thermal shock resistance. It is primarily sold under the iconic Pyrex® brand, which International Cookware commercialises across EMEA under an exclusive licencing agreement granted by Corning Inc and Corning Limited. The Group has also developed its own cookware brand, Ôcuisine, which has a large range of products distributed throughout the world.
