Herter & Co. has advised Erndtebrücker Eisenwerk GmbH & Co. KG (EEW) on the refinancing of its existing bilateral financing. The new syndicated loan amounts to c. €308m and comprises a revolving credit facility as well as a guarantee facility.

Herter & Co. has supported us during the entire refinancing process from preparation of required documentation, structuring of the financing to funding with a high level of expertise.”, said Ralf Pulverich, CFO at EEW.
The new syndicated loan facility is provided by a consortium of long-standing house banks

The EEW group is a manufacturer of process, structural and line pipes and mainly active in the global oil & gas industry as well as in the global wind power industry.
