SKW Schwarz has advised the Norwegian company Arendals Fossekompani ASA on acquiring a majority stake of 54.9% in the energy storage specialist Commeo GmbH.

Arendals Fossekompani is acquiring the shares for its new battery-centric concept Ampwell, thus continuing its growth strategy in the field of energy technology.

The company plans to start construction of a new production facility this year, which, when completed, will further improve Commeo's production process and capacity.

The parties have agreed not to disclose the purchase price.
