Vinge advises Norvestor in connection with its investment in Robust

February 25, 2013

Vinge has advised the Norwegian private equity firm Norvestor in connection with its investment in the steel door division of the Robust Group. Following the transaction, Norvestor is the new majority shareholder in the company. Robust specialises in the production and sale of steel doors, including security doors and fire doors and has production facilities in Sweden and England. The company’s turnover is approximately MSEK 165. The investment will support Robust ’s planned expansion in the Nordic region.

Vinge’s team consisted of responsible partner Daniel Rosvall together with associates Rime Dreber, Jonatan Lund Kirkhoff and Oscar Rydén as well as Johan Cederblad (environmental), Louise Brorsson Salomon and Andreas Malmberg (banking and finance), Åsa Gotthardsson (employment) and Daniel Järmén (IP).

New statute prohibits unfair terms and conditions and practices in conjunction with the purchase of agricultural and food products

The so-called UTP Act prohibits buyers from using certain terms and conditions and practices against suppliers of agricultural and food products. The Swedish Competition Authority exercises supervision and can, among other things, carry out unannounced inspections and order individual to attend formal interviews. In conjunction with violations, sanctions such as injunctions subject to a default fine or a sanction fee of up to one per cent of the buyer’s annual turnover can be imposed. The UTP Act will enter into force on 1 November 2021 and will also be applicable to contracts which are entered into prior to this date.

European Commission provides sanctions compliance guidance

The European Commission has recently issued three opinions regarding the interpretation of asset freeze provisions in certain sanctions legislation pertaining to Central African Republic, Ukraine, Libya and Syria. The opinions are also of relevance for other sanctions regimes which provide for the same or similar restrictions. Therefore, their practical relevance goes far beyond the sanctions regimes in the context of which they were issued and they therefore provide for helpful guidance regarding the required thresholds for sanctions compliance generally.
