Global law firm White & Case LLP has advised Swiss industrial company Georg Fischer AG (GF) on the US$336 million sale of its automotive unit GF Casting Solutions to Nemak S.A.B. de C.V. (Nemak), a Mexico-headquartered global supplier of lightweight aluminum solutions for the automotive industry.

The transaction is subject to regulatory approvals and is expected to close during the second half of 2025. The sale includes the entire GF Casting Solutions automotive business, which reported an annual turnover of approximately CHF 622 million in 2024, as well as nine production sites in Europe, China and the US comprising approximately 2,500 employees.
