PWWL advised the tobacco company Imperial Tobacco on the sale of the EFKA plant at the traditional location Trossingen to the Dutch Mignot & De Block Group. The change of ownership enables the continuation of the plant and thus secures about 80 jobs. The EFKA brand, associated patents and trademark rights are not part of the sale. They remain in the property of Imperial Tobacco. No further details of the transaction were disclosed. Comprehensive employment law advice was provided to Imperial Tobacco by a team led by PWWL partner Thomas Wahlig.
