DUSSELDORF, Germany, July 1 Gerresheimer-AG
DUSSELDORF, Germany, July 1 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Gerresheimer AG, a
leading manuÂfacturer of glass and plastic products for the pharma & life
science industry, has sold its Technical Plastics operations, which are not
part of the MDAX company's core business, to the FBH Group, Bad Soden,
Germany. "Through the sale of the Technical Plastics segment Gerresheimer has
- as formerly announced - taken a further step in its focus on the core
business of pharma & life science," says Dr. Axel Herberg, CEO of
Gerresheimer AG.
The Technical Plastics business has so far been part of Gerresheimer
Wilden GmbH. Complex injection-molded plastic components for the automobile
industry are manufactured by around 430 employees at plants in Germany, the
Czech Republic and Mexico. Sales by this business, including the tool
business which is also being sold, totaled EUR74m in the financial year 2008.
The purchaser is a company in the FBH Group, Bad Soden, to which
Thermoplast Technik Beteiligungs-AG, a medium-sized manufacturer of
injection-molded parts, belongs. Components for the autoÂmobile industry are
manufactured in five production plants. Through the sale, FBH will expand its
plant network and existing product range.
The purchase price including the debts taken over amounts to EUR12m. The
transfer takes place with effect from July 1, 2009.

technical and regulatory barriers.
