GNS takes over metallurgy specialist Powder Light Metals

Powder Light Metals GmbH was founded in Gladbeck in 2000 and has particular expertise in powder metallurgy. The innovative company specializes in the development and production of semi-finished products and components made of nano-structured light metal alloys based on powder metallurgy. The range of materials mainly focuses on alloys based on aluminum.

Structured sales process

Powder Light Metals GmbH filed for insolvency on September 6, 2024. The Local Court of Essen appointed Mr. Nils Meißner, attorney at law from GÖRG Partnerschaft von Rechtsanwälten mbB, as preliminary insolvency administrator.

The team of CVM Capital Value Management GmbH, led by Managing Partner Kai Peppmeier, was exclusively mandated to carry out a structured M&A process. Despite a very critical situation for the company and a very tight time frame, CVM succeeded in selling the company as part of an asset deal while preserving all jobs in Gladbeck.

Team CVM: Kai Peppmeier (Managing Partner), Benjamin Ruiz (Project Manager), Moritz Falk (Consultant)

The buyer is GNS Gesellschaft für Nuklear-Service mbH, a leading provider of nuclear waste management services and packaging solutions. The business will continue under the name GNS Power Alloys GmbH. GNS will reorganize the company at the Gladbeck site and offer the employees a secure and attractive workplace in the new company.
