Orrick advised the founding shareholder of SIMICON GmbH on the sale of the company to Mesa Laboratories, Inc., a U.S. technology innovator.

Mesa Laboratories offers quality control and analysis solutions for the pharmaceutical, health and food industries, as well as for occupational safety and monitoring. By integrating SIMICON into the bio-indicator segment of the company, Mesa Laboratories will strengthen their access to the German and European market. Mesa Laboratories will continue to operate from the Munich facility using existing management, staff and operating procedures.

Financial details have not been disclosed.

The Orrick team advising SIMICON was led by Munich M&A and Private Equity partner Jörg Ritter, one of several members of the Orrick Germany team who regularly advise clients in the health care and life sciences sectors.

The team also included partner Stefan Schultes-Schnitzlein (Tax, Düsseldorf), counsel Felix Schäfer (Real Estate, Düsseldorf) and senior associate Sebastian Meul (M&A and Private Equity, Munich).
