Volume increased from 300 million euros to 650 million euros

In a challenging market environment, the life science group Sartorius successfully placed Schuldschein loans with a volume of 650 million euros. In view of high demand, the targeted minimum volume of 300 million euros was significantly exceeded. The transaction comprises maturities of 3, 5, 7, 10, and 13 years. “The success of the placement demonstrates investors’ confidence in Sartorius,” said Rainer Lehmann, Chief Financial Officer of Sartorius.

The transaction was arranged by BNP Paribas and Landesbank Baden-Württemberg (LBBW). As planned, the funds will be used in particular to refinance the acquisition of Albumedix, which was completed at the end of September 2022.
