According to the firm, MOOG had already advised the shareholders on the legal and tax aspects of the sale of their majority stake in 2023, when Maxburg Capital Partners was selected in a structured bidding process. A reinvestment model secured the continued participation of the existing shareholders. These shares have now been sold in full as part of Maxburg Capital Partners’ sale of autmatec to HOCHTIEF.
