SKW Schwarz advises shareholders on sale of Grob Aircraft to Helsing

Munich — The commer­cial law firm SKW Schwarz has advi­sed the share­hol­ders of Grob Aircraft SE on the sale of the company to the Euro­pean defense and AI tech­no­logy company Helsing. The closing of the tran­sac­tion is still subject to custo­mary regu­la­tory approvals. 

Grob Aircraft, based in Tussen­hau­­sen-Matt­­sies, is an estab­lished manu­fac­tu­rer of trai­ning aircraft for the mili­tary sector and is known world­wide for its G 120 aircraft series. The company has deca­des of expe­ri­ence in the avia­tion sector and plays a central role in the trai­ning of mili­tary pilots on seve­ral continents. 

Helsing, a company specia­li­zing in arti­fi­cial intel­li­gence and defence tech­no­logy, is acqui­ring all shares in Grob Aircraft SE as part of the tran­sac­tion. The aim of the acqui­si­tion is to streng­then Euro­pean tech­no­lo­gi­cal sove­reig­nty in the defense sector and to inte­grate AI-supported capa­bi­li­ties into modern avia­tion platforms.
