Gerresheimer drops takeover talks
Gerresheimer AG has officially announced the termination of discussions with private equity funds regarding a potential takeover. After analyzing the status of negotiations, the company’s management concluded that continuing talks was not in the best interest of the company or its stakeholders.
- A strategic review of the company's Moulded Glass division will be accelerated over the coming months, with results to be presented no later than Capital Markets Day on October 15.
- The company reaffirmed its commitment to pursuing growth projects, with a strong focus on systems and solutions for the biologics segment.
- Gerresheimer also maintained its medium-term guidance of organic revenue growth between 6–9% and an organic adjusted EBITDA margin of 23–25%.
According to earlier reports, KPS ended discussions with Warburg Pincus regarding an offer for Gerresheimer. The absence of a formal bid may disappoint speculative investors who had positioned themselves for a takeover premium scenario.

Wind sector under pressure
The Dutch government plans to slash its offshore wind investment budget by as much as 40%, while a political party in the UK has threatened to cancel wind energy subsidies if it wins the next election. Shares of Vestas and Orsted dipped slightly, but Germany’s Nordex posted a 1% gain.
The ambitious Dutch target of 50 gigawatts of offshore wind capacity by 2040 is now deemed unrealistic, with the government planning to significantly scale back its ambitions. In the UK, a rising political force—after several local election wins—has sent letters to eight major energy companies, threatening to void renewable energy contracts in upcoming auctions.
