Dentons advises Suma Capital on the sale of Alucan Entec to Ball Corporation
Dentons has advised Suma Capital, a leading private equity firm, on its successful exit from Alucan Entec, with the sale of 100% of the share capital of the Spanish company and its wholly owned Belgian subsidiary Alucan Benelux to Ball Corporation (a U.S.-based publicly traded company and global leader in innovative, sustainable aluminum packaging).
Alucan Entec specializes in the manufacturing and marketing of aerosols and aluminum bottles across various sectors, including food, beverages, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, technical, and sports. This acquisition enables Ball Corporation to expand its footprint in Europe and strengthen its offerings in sustainable packaging solutions.
The sale was facilitated through a competitive process in which Ball was ultimately selected as the buyer. Alucan Entec was previously owned by three shareholders: its two founders and Suma Capital. Dentons advised Suma Capital throughout this transaction, enabling the private equity firm to complete its successful divestment in one of its key portfolio companies.
The transaction was led by Dentons’ partner Nieves Briz, with the collaboration of counsel Natalia Ontiveros.
