Munich \u2014 The Munich-based indus\u00adtrial holding ADCURAM Group has sold its stake in the WOUNDWO Group, based in Graz, Austria. The acqui\u00adrer is the Paris-based listed indus\u00adtrial group SFPI Group.

Toge\u00adther with the manage\u00adment, the turno\u00adver could be increased by more than 50% during this time and the inno\u00adva\u00adtive strength could be signi\u00adfi\u00adcantly streng\u00adthe\u00adned. The tran\u00adsac\u00adtion, the details of which have been agreed not to be disc\u00adlo\u00adsed, is still subject to appr\u00adoval by the rele\u00advant anti\u00adtrust autho\u00adri\u00adties and is expec\u00adted to be comple\u00adted by the end of July.<\/p>\n
