SKW Schwarz advises Bosch eBike Systems on the full acquisition of MAGURA Bosch Parts & Services

SKW Schwarz has advised Bosch eBike Systems on the acquisition of MAGURA’s shares in MAGURA Bosch Parts & Services (MBPS).

Until now, Bosch eBike Systems and MAGURA Gustav Magenwirth GmbH & Co. KG each held a 50 percent interest in MBPS as part of a joint venture.

With this transaction, Bosch eBike Systems further strengthens its position in the service segment. MBPS specializes in the service and distribution of bicycle and eBike components and operates a commercial network of more than 30,000 specialist dealers across Europe.

MAGURA develops, manufactures and markets high-quality components, in particular hydraulic braking systems and wireless dropper seatposts for bicycles and eBikes. The fourth-generation family-owned company is headquartered in Bad Urach and employs around 400 people.

Founded in 2009, Bosch eBike Systems focuses on drive systems for eBikes, including drive units, batteries, displays and apps. As an independent business unit within the Bosch Group, Bosch eBike Systems also benefits from the Group’s extensive technological and manufacturing expertise.
