Dewey & LeBoeuf Advises Datalogic on US$135 Million Acquisition of Accu-Sort
Dewey & LeBoeuf has represented Datalogic S.p.A., a leading international producer of bar code readers and other data collection technologies headquartered in Bologna, Italy, in connection with the US$135 million acquisition, for cash, of Accu-Sort Systems, Inc. and certain of its affiliates from certain subsidiaries of Danaher Corporation.
Accu-Sort is a US-based business producing cutting-edge Automatic Identification (Auto-ID) systems. The acquisition expands Datalogic's North American presence and reinforces the combined business's global market position. The acquisition is expected to be funded with Datalogic’s existing internal resources (cash on hand and unused credit lines), though Datalogic is also seeking a bridge loan of approximately USD$120 million.
The Dewey & LeBoeuf team was led by Partner Lorenzo Borgogni, with Partner Adriano Pala in Milan and Associates Alessandro Dolce and Paul Wellington in New York.
