White & Case advises Hameur Belgique on sale of Magimix to Lavafields Group

Global law firm White & Case LLP has advised Hameur Belgique SA (Hameur) on the sale of Magimix by Umami, a joint venture between Hameur and Ardian, to Lavafields Group SA (Lavafields Group), as well as Hameur's investment in Lavafields Group.

"White & Case advised Hameur on this strategic transaction which further strengthens its position in the high-end household appliance market," said White & Case partner Thierry Bosly, who led the Firm's deal team. "Our team was involved in every aspect of this complex cross-border deal."

Privately-owned Hameur acquired food processor and cooking accessories brands Robot Coupe and Magimix in 1988 as sole owner. White & Case advised Hameur in 2024 on its strategic partnership with Ardian through which Ardian took a majority stake in those brands.

Lavafields Group is a French-Belgian company with more than 50 years of experience in household appliances.

The White & Case team which advised on the transaction was led by partner Thierry Bosly (Brussels & Luxembourg) and included local partners Nick Hallemeesch (Brussels) and Ruslana Hrischeva (Luxembourg) and associates Aude Goffaux (Brussels) and Maxim Arrazola de Onate (Brussels & Luxembourg).
