Torqx Capital Partners (“Torqx”) is pleased to announce that it has reached an agreement with the creditors and insolvency administrator of Joseph Dresselhaus GmbH & Co. KG and its subsidiaries (“Dresselhaus” or “the Company”) with regards to the acquisition of 100% of the shares of the Company, enabling Dresselhaus to continue after the insolvency procedures. Dresselhaus is a technical distributor of fasteners, mainly active in Germany.
