Stuttgart — A team led by Stuttgart-based partner Dr. Hermann Ali Hinderer provided legal advice to Storskogen Deutschland GmbH on the acquisition of A & K — Die frische Küche GmbH, a leading manufacturer of ultra-fresh ready meals, which also operates a delivery service (meals-on-wheels) through its subsidiary Casino Services.

As of September 30, 2021, Storskogen consisted of 94 business units with a total of around 7,000 employees and annual sales of approximately 1.8 billion euros.
A & K — Die frische Küche GmbH, headquartered in Recklinghausen and with locations in Wuppertal and Alsdorf, employs around 150 people and generated sales of 16 million euros in 2021. Every day, around 20,000 meals are cooked in the company’s own Cook & Chill kitchen with ten production lines. Meals are delivered to various institutions and households around the sites via the subsidiary Casino Service, a meals-on-wheels company.
