Gleiss Lutz advised the Chinese state-owned group CNBM (China National Building Materials) and its subsidiary Triumph Science&Technology Group Co., Ltd (“Triumph”) on expanding their interest in the listed Singulus Technologies Aktiengesellschaft (“Singulus”). The Chinese group was also advised by Gleiss Lutz when Triumph first acquired a 13% stake in Singulus in 2018.

These machines are used in different industries such as, for example, the solar, semiconductor and consumer good industries, medical technology as well as for the pro-duction of optical discs. The Singulus Group currently has around 320 employees. The Triumph Group is active in many areas having to do with engineering, general contractorship as well as project management with respect to the building materials industry, especially as regards steel and glass technology, “cement engineering” and “new energy engineering”.
